The Committee had before it a *report of the Head of Planning, Economy and Regeneration regarding the above application.
The Area Planning Officer outlined the contents of the report by way of presentation highlighting the location of the bund of trees to the southern side of Scotts Quarry. The Tree Officer had visited the site and thought it sensible for a Tree Preservation be put in place. It was felt that the bund of trees would also help to screen the site. She provided photographs from various aspects of the site.
Consideration was given to:
· The location of the bund of trees was stabilising the bank behind the houses
· The views of the objector with regard to the loss of some of the trees alongside the river, the land had been badly managed and some of the trees would come down due to lack of husbandry.
RESOLVED that the Tree Preservation Order be confirmed as recommended by the Head of Planning, Economy and Regeneration.
