RESOLVED that the Borough of Charnwood (14 Sanders Road, Quorn) 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 tree did not outweigh the contribution it made to the amenity of the area, noting in particular the TEMPO assessment score for the tree, and that the tree should therefore be protected. |
