Southend Council to Grant Permanent Protection to 150-Year-Old Tree 'Chester'

CARBON CAPTURE

The Southend Council planning committee is set to make a temporary tree preservation order permanent for a 150-year-old London plane tree named 'Chester.' This decision follows a community campaign aimed at saving the tree from removal due to proposed development plans for a 14-storey residential tower nearby. The tree, praised for its environmental benefits and contribution to the local streetscape, meets all criteria for permanent protection.
