Delight as trees saved
Residents are celebrating a decision which will stop any more trees being felled in a "wildlife corridor" at Old Pool Bank near Otley.
Householders were stunned last November when workmen arrived in Cabin Road and started felling part of the neighbouring ancient woodland. They immediately notified Pool Parish and Leeds City Councils, and a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) was placed on the site.
Now Leeds Plans Panel (West), however, has confirmed the order - to the delight of residents in Groves Terrace and Cabin Road.
John Riley of Groves Terrace, said: "This is absolutely fantastic, great news and we do hope the protection will be permanent for that piece of land, so we can do something about putting some deciduous trees back in there."
