A TREE LOST
Local residents were shocked to witness the felling of a large horse chestnut tree in the car park of the former Grange Manor/Crying Tree pub on 14th January. They - and we - were under the impression that it was covered by a Tree Preservation Order, but the City Council's Planning Department has since confirmed that no TPO existed on this site (only on the nearby Grange Hollies site). As mentioned at our talk in November 2015, the Crying Tree building - which is Grade II Listed - has recently changed hands, and proposals for its future are awaited.

GATEACRE COMP SITE UPDATE
The Marquess of Salisbury's surveyor tells us that he has met with the City Council, and an agent for the developers, and has agreed terms for relaxing the covenant on the former Gateacre Comp site. Meanwhile the Countryside Properties website advertises the housing development as 'coming soon', and invites prospective purchasers to register their interest.
