Agenda item

7.1

The Director of Development Services submitted a report outlining his response to an objection received to Tree Preservation Order No. 808/388 on land between 2a Penistone Road and 51 Rojean Road. 

7.2

The report explained that the trees were located on land which was allocated as open space in the Unitary Development Plan.  The land had been maintained by the City Council until it became known in late 2011 that it was privately registered.  Accordingly, the Order had been served to protect the visual amenity of the site and avoid the potential of trees being removed. 

7.3

The objections to the Order were outlined and details of the responses were provided by the Director of Development Services to each of the points made by the objector.

7.4

RESOLVED: That (a) following consideration of the objection now reported, Tree Preservation Order No. 808/388 be confirmed as advertised; and

(b) officers be requested to investigate how maintenance of the land subject to the Order would be carried out and that the outcome be reported to a future meeting of this Committee.
