After the council’s felling order expired in December, it submitted another in its place. But after evaluating the application, which received 177 objections and three comments of support, officers told the council they did not recommend that the works take place. The TPO notice, signed by the director of planning, states: “The council has made the order because the woodland makes a positive contribution to the local environment as assessed by a tree evaluation method for preservation orders (TEMPO) evaluation. “The order took effect on a provisional basis on January 19, 2021. “It will continue in force on this basis for a further 6 months or until the order is confirmed by the council, whichever first occurs.
