Plans to remove 114 mature trees to make way for the redevelopment of a former hospital site have been poorly received by neighbours and campaigners.
Outline permission is already in place for a residential development on the site of the former David Rice Hospital in Drayton, with up to 29 homes permitted to be built there.
And plans have now been lodged to build 12 properties on part of the site, with the flexibility to be used either as six-bed rehabilitation units for people with onset dementia or three or four bedroom family homes.
