The Committee received an application to confirm, not to confirm, or confirm subject to modifications the Tree
Preservation Order (TPO) 182016 for Tanglewood, Gazeley Lane, Trumpington.
Members were asked to decide
whether to confirm the TPO as is, confirm the TPO with modification or not
confirm the TPO.
Members were recommended
that the TPO be confirmed without modification.
The Committee received a representation in
objection to the TPO from a local resident.
The representation covered the following
concerns:
i.
Trees provided amenity
value but this did not mean they needed TPOs.
ii.
Reasons given for imposing
the TPOs were not applicable so there was no need for the TPO.
iii.
Referred to assessment
information in the Officer’s report. Suggested the trees were not of sufficient
amenity value to warrant protection from TPOs.
The Committee received a representation in
support of the TPO from residents of Gazeley Road.
The representation covered the following
concerns:
i.
Took issue with details in
the Objector’s report.
ii.
Concern about multiple
planning applications affecting the site and this could lead to loss of trees.
iii.
The trees were healthy and
needed protection.
The Committee:
Unanimously
resolved to accept the officer recommendation and grant permission to confirm
the TPO that was the subject of the application.
