Decision:
REMOVAL OF TREE REFUSED
Minutes:
Oral representations in support of the application were received at the meeting.
Comments from Ward Member Councillor Colin Smith in objection to the application were received at the meeting. Councillor Smith referred to a similar application at the same site which Members considered in 2014; this had resulted in the loss of a much loved and 'protected' tree. Background papers to that application are attached as Appendix 3.
Members having considered the report and representations, RESOLVED THAT THE APPLICATION TO REMOVE 1 CEDAR TREE BE REFUSED for the following reason:-
1 The removal of the tree is unnecessary and would have a detrimental effect upon the character and appearance of the area contrary to Policy NE7.
