7.1

The Director of Regeneration and Development Services submitted a report outlining his response to objections received to Tree Preservation Order No. 404. The report stated that the Order was made on 21 July 2015 to protect two mature pine trees in the front garden of 7 Gladstone Road.  It was stated that a Notice had been received on 18 May 2015 to remove the trees as they had outgrown their position and needed felling.  An assessment of the trees found that they contributed to the amenity value and tree lined character of Gladstone Road and the Conservation area.  They were also considered to have a long useful life expectancy and that there was no obvious health and safety reasons for removing the trees.

7.2

RESOLVED: That, following consideration of the objections as now reported, Tree Preservation Order No. 404 in respect of two pine trees in the front garden of 7 Gladstone Road, under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, be confirmed unmodified.
