Some halachic authorities say that only the wanton destruction of a fruit tree is prohibited, but if we need the place it occupies, then it is permitted. Others prohibit cutting it down for the sake of just having open space to stroll, but permit doing so when the space is needed to build on.

Well, maybe some day there'll be a shiny new settlement where that tree used to be, but in the meantime, some wanton destruction can take place, the better to disrupt the lives of the current owners.

And Deuteronomy says nothing about chain saws and bulldozers.
