North Lanarkshire felled the highest amount of trees at 31,480 , followed by Birmingham with 21,486 and Hampshire County with 18,535 trees felled over the last decade .

Campaigners have said more must be done to preserve trees and have accused councils of prioritising planning developments over environmental concerns.

Government aims to build 1.5 million more homes in the next five years .

But campaigners are concerned the drive to build new homes may lead to a surge in the destruction of trees.

Developers are legally obliged to ensure wildlife habitats are in a better state after development.

Government insists the impact of any new housing development will be considered.
