12.	Borough of Charnwood (Wood Close, Wyvernhoe Drive, Quorn LE12 8AP) Tree Preservation Order 2019 PDF 10 MB A report of the Head of Strategic Support is attached. Minutes: Considered a report of the Head of Strategic Support setting out details of the Tree Preservation Order served on the above site, the objection received to the Order and the comments of the Head of Planning and Regeneration on the issues raised by the objection (item 5 on the agenda filed with these minutes). Assisting with consideration of the report: Principal Solicitor. Both the Head of Planning and Regeneration’s representatives and the objector attended the meeting to put forward their cases and answer the Committee’s questions. The Committee considered this matter in accordance with the “Procedure for Considering Objections to Tree Preservation Orders” set out in the Council’s Constitution and on the agenda for this meeting. The objection related to the inclusion of Woodland W1 in the Order. The objector confirmed that there was no objection to the protection of the groups of trees G1 and G2 in the Order. RESOLVED that the Borough of Charnwood (Wood Close, Wyvernhoe Drive, Quorn LE12 8AP) Tree Preservation Order 2019 be confirmed, with modification to remove Woodland W1 from the Order. Reason Having considered, in accordance with the procedure set out in the Council’s Constitution, the objection to the Order, the Committee considered that the reasons put forward for not protecting trees as a Woodland W1 were reasonable and that, therefore, the Order should be confirmed with modification to remove Woodland W1 from the Order. Notwithstanding the above, the Committee noted that there were a number of trees within Woodland W1 situated along the boundary with Buddon Lane that may warrant protection as a group of trees and wished officers to consider protection of those trees via a further Tree Preservation Order on that basis.
