RESOLVED that the Borough of Charnwood (161 Swithland Lane, Rothley) Tree Preservation Order 2019 be not 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 tree outweighed the contribution it made to the amenity of the area and that the tree should not therefore be protected.
