Muamba faces backlash over home renovation in Cheshire

Fabrice Muamba, a former Premier League player, is in conflict with neighbors over his home renovation in Wilmslow, Cheshire. He has faced backlash for cutting down protected trees without permission while planning a major upgrade to his property. Neighbors have objected to the proposed four-storey design, citing concerns about its size and impact on the area. Muamba has submitted revised plans for a garage, but council officials have noted a breach of a Tree Preservation Order due to the tree removals. Muamba's agent claims the trees were removed for safety reasons after a tree surgeon's assessment. He has committed to planting four new trees as compensation and is awaiting feedback from the council on this matter.
