The fate of three tall trees on the edge of a playing field in Kingswood will be decided later this week. An oak, sycamore and horse chestnut lie on the northern end of the Lees Hill playing field, but block light from a south-facing adjacent garden.
The three trees were recently protected by a tree preservation order (TPO), placed by South Gloucestershire Council, after concerns that future owners of the garden would chop them down. But the current owners of the garden are now objecting to the new preservation order.
The TPO was made after a potential buyer of the garden contacted the council, saying they feared the three large trees would make it difficult to grow fruit and vegetables. The council’s development management committee will hear objections on Thursday, February 16.
