neighbour cut my tree down
Discussion
Problem is can you prove it was him?
If so, sue them for the cost (including installation) of an equivalent tree (size, species etc.) would run into thousands and really piss him off...
Even not, may be worth it for the sake of £25 if you don't mind driving a train through neighbourly relations...

Sycamores are non indigenous and no better than weeds. Even areas with blanket TPOs aren't concerned with them. I'd be grateful he'd done it and saved me getting a tree surgeon in. Take the rest down ASAP and replace them with something nice.
That's not entirely true, plenty of sycamores are covered by TPO's both in blanket TPO's and as individual TPO's, they have ecological benefit as they are home to many more invertebrates that even a native conifer. Plus plenty of trees that we think are valuable are not native, so why treat a sycamore differently? eg:
Copper Beech (Fagus sylvatica f. purpurea)
Cedar (Cedrus libani)
Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum)
Sweet Chestnut (Castanea sativa)
Cypress(Cupressus x leylandii)
Huntingdon Elm (Ulmus x hollandica 'vegeta')
Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)
Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla)
European Larch (Larix decidua)
London Plane (Platanus x hispanica)
And many more
Would you encourage those to be felled willy nilly without permission of the owner?
