Minutes:

The Committee received a report seeking Members confirmation of a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) without modification in respect of TPO (No.401) at No.2 Lichfield Road, Wheatley, Doncaster.

 

Members were advised that the Council made the above TPO, covering a single mature Oak tree on 19th February, 2018.

It was also advised that the owner had instructed a firm of solicitors to act on his behalf and the solicitors had enclosed with their letter of objection, a further seven objections to the TPO.

 

In accordance with Planning Guidance ‘Having Your Say at Planning Committee’, Mr Adam Bortkiewicz (applicant) spoke in support of the application for the duration of 5 minutes

 

Subsequently, it was MOVED by the Vice-Chair, Councillor Iris Beech and SECONDED by the Chair, Councillor Eva Hughes to confirm the Tree Preservation Order without modification.
