Anyone fancy putting a name to this line of trees?

We're hoping they may be worthy of a tree preservation order to prevent
the house behind them being demolished, so we'd like to emphasise any
merits. How old might they be? Looking a bit sorry for them selves right
now, but sprouting nicely from the trunk, and . Any help appreciated.

As others have said, no chance. why do you think preserving trees will
prevent a house from being demolished?

I think that because.... preserving trees reduces what the developers
can put in its place, hopefully to the point where it isn't worthwhile
proceeding.

Let me guess, it's near you, in a good bit of ground and the developers are
after it?


Of course, what else is planning all about? It also happens to be
council owned park land (Park Keeper's Lodge), so by no means ethically
straightforward.
Do I detect a slightly patronising tone? Why would that be?
