A High Court judge has ruled that work to fell an avenue of ancient trees should not have taken place.
Sixteen of the trees were cut down in February 2023 before protesters blocked contractors from continuing their work – which was later paused in March 2023 ahead of legal proceedings.that he rejected the developer’s "contentions that no further approval was needed for the felling of protected trees".
The judge said it would now be up to North Northamptonshire Council, as the planning authority, to decide which trees needed to be cut down or saved.In a statement, WWAG said: "This is an incredible victory for the people of our town.The group said it would now encourage others to object to the developer’s latest plans to "put pressure" on the council to reject them.
"We acknowledge that mistakes have been made," he said, adding that the council was "determined to learn from this".
