Agenda item

The Planning Policy Lead Officer advised Members that in October, 2015, a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) (Number 4 of 2015) in respect of Land Adjacent to 10 Layburn Crescent, Slough, was served on a number of interested parties. The reason for the Order was that any unauthorised work on the tree would have a significant detrimental impact both aesthetically and from an arboricultural aspect.

It was noted that one objection was submitted by a prospective purchaser of the land in question. The land was sold to a different individual who had subsequently submitted a late objection to the Order.

The Committee was reminded that it was the responsibility of the Planning Authority to determine all requests for new TPO’s and the Officer recommended that the Order be confirmed. Members asked a number of questions of detail around the TPO process.

Resolved – That Tree Preservation Order Number 4 of 2015 be confirmed.
