6.1

The Director of Regeneration and Development Services submitted a report outlining his response to objections received to Tree Preservation Order No.405.  The report stated that Order was served on 16 July 2015 to protect two sycamore trees in the front garden of land adjacent to 155 Psalter Lane. It was assessed that the trees had significant visual amenity value and were an important element in the character of the streetscene.  A planning application had been approved for the site and that, whilst a condition required the tree roots to be protected, there was a risk of damage during the course of the construction process.  The Order would also protect the trees into the future should any changes be made that could threaten their viability.

6.2

RESOLVED: That, following consideration of the objections as now reported, Tree Preservation Order No. 405 in respect of two sycamore trees on land adjacent to 155 Psalter Lane, under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, be confirmed unmodified.
