Agenda item

7.1

The Director of City Growth submitted a report outlining a response to an objection to Tree Preservation Order No. 427 made on 8 November 2018, in respect of trees on land adjacent to Bridle Stile Close, Sheffield 20.  The report stated that the trees at the site were considered to be under possible threat because of potential future development works.

7.2

A Tree Evaluation Method for Preservation Orders (TEMPO), assessment was carried out prior to serving the Order, and the trees were inspected by an Arboriculturist from the Parks and Countryside Trees and Woodlands Service for general condition and suitability for protection.  The trees were found to be in good order and of significant amenity value to the local area.

7.3

The objection to the Tree Preservation Order from an arboricultural consultant on behalf of a client was detailed and the officer’s response to the objections was provided.  The Tree Preservation Order, Tree Schedule, site plan and TEMPO, along with correspondence that had been received from the arboricutural consultant, were attached to the report now submitted.

7.4

RESOLVED:  That, following consideration of the objections now reported Tree Preservation Order No. 427, made on 8 November 2018 in respect of trees situated on land adjacent to Bridle Style Close, Sheffield S20, be confirmed unmodified.
