REFUSED

Description of application – Fell and treat (deciduous) x3 Oak trees (T3, T4 and T5) at Sundridge Park Golf Club. SUBJECT TO TPO 690 (26.10.1990).

The Principal Tree officer reported that the first sentence of the reason for refusal set out on page 102 of the report had been amended to read:- ‘The application has failed to acknowledge the adequacy of the front porch and bay window foundations and the construction design.’

Members agreed there was not sufficient evidence to warrant felling of the trees which pre-dated the building. TPOs were in place for a reason.

Members having considered the report, RESOLVED that the application to fell and treat (deciduous) x 3 Oak trees BE REFUSED as recommended, for the reason and informatives set out in the report of the Assistant Director, Planning. The reason was amended to read:-

1.  The application has failed to acknowledge the adequacy of the front porch and bay windows foundations and the construction design. The tree felling would be harmful to the character of the area. The proposals would negate the objectives of the TPO and therefore conflict with Policies 73 and 74 of the Bromley Local Plan (adopted January 2019) and Policy G7 of The London Plan (adopted March 2021).
