REMOVAL OF OAK TREE REFUSED
Minutes:
Description of application – T3 Oak - Remove.
In response to questions from Councillor Terry, the Principal Tree Officer reported that:-
· insufficient data/information was available to assess the cost value of the tree;
· the application referred to the tree furthest away from the property; and
· an informative included in the recommendations encouraged the agent to undertake an appraisal of a root barrier which should be included in any further submission; and
· in future, if concerns were raised in relation to subsidence issues with close neighbouring properties, this would be assessed and if proven, a new application could be submitted.
Members having considered the report, RESOLVED that the application to remove one oak tree be REFUSED as recommended, for the reason and informatives set out in the report of the Assistant Director, Planning.
