Minutes:
The Committee considered the report and the urgent update report of the Head of Planning and Development concerning Tree Preservation Order No. 5007/2014/MS which was made to protect a mature Sycamore tree growing in the southern corner of the owner’s garden adjacent to The Street, Detling. It was noted that:
· The Order had been made in response to conservation area notification 14/502209/TCA. The notice proposed the removal of the tree. The amenity evaluation assessment confirmed that the tree was of sufficient quality and amenity value to merit protection by a Tree Preservation Order.
· An objection to the Order had been received from the tree owner on the grounds that the tree was a nuisance and a danger. However, on balance, it was the Landscape Officer’s view that the grounds of objection were not sufficiently robust to suggest that it was inappropriate to make a Tree Preservation Order on the Sycamore tree or that the tree should not continue to be the subject of the Order.
RESOLVED: That Tree Preservation Order No. 5007/2014/MS be confirmed without modification.
