A DECISION on whether or not to confirm a tree protection order has been deferred until next month.
The order concerns a mature beech tree located at the rear of a property in Northbrook Avenue, St Giles Hill, Winchester.
According to the city council, three objections to the TPO were received, with complaints including that the tree has a history of sudden limb drop and that it poses a threat to property.

However, the decision has been deferred to the next committee, on Wednesday, April 17.
No reason for the deferral was given.
