>> Dear Resident,

>> We have just 24 hours to save the Tension Road trees. Please can you help?
>>
>> The CB1 Station Development outline planning permission has now been
>> granted but the detailed plans for each block have to be approved.
>>
>> On Wednesday morning the Planning Committee will consider the replacement
>> office block for Great Eastern House on the corner of Tenison Road and
>> Station Road. Nobody will mourn the loss of the ugly 1960s Gt Eastern House
>> but the trees which surround it are a delight. They include a semi-mature
>> plane tree which is the subject of a tree preservation order. (see attached
>> photograph)
>>
>> The new block is going to be a seven storey glass and steel building that
>> will tower over the neighbourhood. The only redeeming feature would be a
>> screen of mature trees, but these are to be cut down and replaced by six
>> small flowering cherries and crab apples.
>>
>> The Council Officials seem completely compliant to the wishes of the
>> Developer Brookgate, and have not raised objection to the loss of even the
>> protected Plane tree.
>>
>> The matter will however be decided by the Committee. The Residents
>> Association will plead for the trees at the meeting on Wednesday. Please
>> help by emailing your views to the one, or all, of the Committee members
