Minutes:

Councillor Fox arrived at the meeting at 5.09pm. Time was taken to ensure that she was aware of information already presented to the Committee.

 

Considered, a report of the Head of Governance and Human Resources 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 Growth on the issues raised by the objection (item 5 on the agenda filed with these minutes).

 

The Head of Planning and Growth’s representative attended the meeting to put forward his case and answer the Committee’s questions. The objector did not attend the meeting.

 

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.

 

RESOLVED that the Borough of Charnwood (Jubilee Walk GI Corridor - Tickow Lane to Rockingham Close, Shepshed) Tree Preservation Order 2023 be confirmed.

 

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 the trees did not outweigh the contribution they made to the amenity of the area and that the trees should therefore be protected.
