A prestigious golf club that axed 34 protected trees has been ordered to plant new specimens in their place to compensate for the act of 'environmental vandalism'. <br />
<br />
Officials at Parkstone Golf Club in Poole, Dorset, must grow 13 'advanced' specimens of at least 10ft in height in the same spot the mature pine trees once stood.<br />
<br />
The club, that counts Harry Redknapp as a member, fell foul of a 56-year-old Tree Preservation Order (TPO) covering the 70ft tall trees when it cut them down in December 2018.<br />
<br />
The owners of £1m homes that back on to the course were furious as they said the trees provided shelter from the wind and privacy from golfers playing the 1st and 2nd holes.
