Plans to build new school sports facilities on a former golf course are in doubt following criticism over the potential loss of green space.
A new 3G pitch and tennis courts have been proposed for a plot of land on the old South Leeds Golf Course in Beeston, which is now owned by Leeds City Council after the club based there folded in 2019. Under the plans, the neighbouring Cockburn Secondary School would use the facilities.
However, 38 mature trees would have to be axed to make way for the development, although more than 100 new ones would be planted nearby to compensate.
