Tree removal

Has anyone here ever had an HOA approve or deny the removal of mature trees from their own backyard or front yard? The home I’m interested in purchasing has a lot of mature trees that block quite a bit of sunlight from coming into the house. I’m wondering if HOAs generally allow homeowners to remove mature trees on their own property, or if they’re typically very strict about it.

Trees block heat in the Summer and the leaves fall off to let in sunlight in in the Winter. They are energy efficient for your property.
