The provisional order recognises the significance of 12 trees planted in an orchard in 1922.
Campaigners opposed to a new bus route going through part of an orchard are celebrating after some of the trees were granted a provisional tree preservation order .
Part of it would cut through a 100-year-old orchard at Coton, and campaigners have now succeeded in getting a TPO from South Cambridgeshire District Council to protect 12 of the oldest Bramley apple trees, which they hope will "strengthen our case" against the planned route. Under the current plans for the proposed busway route, she said not only would the orchard's fruit trees be affected, but other trees in the hedgerows and those nearby in "unmanaged land".
Achieving the TPO was "reinvigorating" to those who had been fighting the busway plans for 10 years, Ms Gazeley said.
