Council chiefs have confirmed a tree preservation (TPO) order to preserve trees which last year faced the axe in Pudsey.
As reported by WLD last August, Crawshaw Academy wanted to remove trees protected by an existing TPO, and additional trees not currently protected, at the boundary with Woodfield Terrace and Sheridan Way in Pudsey.
In a split decision, council planners only gave permission for two of the trees to be removed, despite concerns over the impact of the trees from some local residents, including shading.
A council report published this week said the six unprotected lime trees ‘were considered to have amenity value’ and a temporary TPO made last August was confirmed as a permanent order – despite objections by two residents on Sheridan Way.
