TPO CONFIRMED

A presentation was given by a Council Tree Officer in which Members were informed that the application was to consider an objection to the existing Tree Preservation Order (TPO) and recommended to confirm the TPO without modification.

An oral presentation from Visiting Ward Member, Councillor Kennedy-Brooks in support of confirmation was received at the meeting. He stated that members should trust Tree Officers’ judgment in that the TPO was lawfully issued, and all the appropriate legislation and procedures had been followed correctly. He added that any future plans/works that the landowner intends to carry out should be submitted in the correct way to enable the Committee to make a decision.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations RESOLVED that the TREE PRESERVATION ORDER BE CONFIRMED WITHOUT MODIFICATION as recommended in the report.
