Objection to Tree Preservation Order 412: Land at Hastings Road and Abbeydale Road

Report of the Interim Head of Planning

Minutes:

7.1

The Interim Head of Planning submitted a report outlining a response to an objection received to Tree Preservation Order No. 412 which had been made in respect of trees situated on land at Hastings Road and Abbeydale Road.  The report stated that Planning Permission Case No. 13/04204/RG3 had been granted for a housing development at the site subject to a condition which stated that, unless otherwise indicated on the approved plans for the development, no tree, shrub or hedge shall be removed from the site or pruned without the prior written approval of the Local Planning Authority.  The condition was intended to secure the retention and protection of the majority of the trees along the Hastings Road and Abbeydale Road highway boundaries, as well as several additional trees within the interior of the site.  In addition to the Condition, following the interior land at the site being sold by the Council, the Order was made to ensure those trees would continue to be protected.
