MOTION NO. 84

MOTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

NCBH 11 Objective 2: “To regularly evaluate and identify trees of amenity value within the County with a view to making them the subject of TPOs or otherwise protecting them and further, to furnish information to the public in this regard.

REPORT:

 NCBH Objective 2 currently reads:

“To identify trees of amenity value within the County and use whatever mechanism is available for their protection.”

The motion proposes to amend this to read:

“To regularly evaluate and identify trees of amenity value within the County with a view to making them the subject of TPOs or otherwise protecting them and further, to furnish information to the public in this regard.

Having regard to NCBH 11 Objective 1 ‘To review Tree Preservation Orders within the County and maintain the conservation value of trees or groups of trees that are the subject of any Tree Preservation Order’ it is recognised that the intention to review trees of amenity value is already an objective.  Therefore, the amendments to NCBH 11 Objective 2 are considered reasonable and continue to provide for the original intent of the objective.

Recommendation: It is recommended that the motion is adopted and that the amended NCBH 11 Objective 2 will read:

“To regularly evaluate and identify trees of amenity value within the County with a view to making them the subject of TPOs or otherwise protecting them and further, to furnish information to the public in this regard
