Decision Maker: David Hayward - Strategic Planning Manager

Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose: The Oak (Quercus spp.) is located within a rear garden but is clearly visible from the public realm, where it makes a positive contribution to visual amenity and the character of the local area.   A request for a Tree Preservation Order has been made by a neighbouring resident due to the landowner’s stated intention to fell the tree in the near future, with quotations already obtained. This indicates a credible and expedient threat to the tree.   The removal of the tree would result in a measurable loss of public amenity, adversely affecting the street scene and local landscape character. On this basis (and a defensible TEMPO Score), the tree is considered to meet the criteria for TPO protection.
