5.1

Sam Thorn (Planning Officer – Landscape) attended the meeting and presented the report.

5.2

Sam Thorn informed Committee that an application was made to the Council’s Planning Department for the erection of ball-stop netting along the northern and southern boundaries of the cricket ground (and associated support-masts). The installation of the masts would have required significant excavations into the Root Protection Area of these trees which would almost certainly have led to the loss of several specimens.  It had therefore been expedient to create a Tree Preservation Order.

5.3

No objections had been received.

5.4

RESOLVED: That Tree Preservation Order No. 440 be confirmed.
