Report of Director of Economic Development and Planning enclosed.

The Director of Economic Development and Planning submitted a report asking committee to consider whether the High Beech House, 8A Crowtrees Brow, Chatburn Tree Preservation Order 2022 should be confirmed.

The report outlined the background to the making of the Temporary Order and the evaluations that had taken place to protect T1 and T2. Following a survey by an arborist T1 had been found to have significant defects and a Tree Work application had been submitted for the felling of the tree. However, as it was covered by a TPO, the Council had been able to condition replacement planting. T2 was considered to be an important feature within the village and of visual amenity value.

Members considered the request taking into account the comments made by the public participant earlier in the meeting.

RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE:

Do not confirm the High Beech House, 8A Crow Trees Brow, Chatburn TPO 2022 on T2.
