To confirm the following Tree Preservation Orders at the following addresses:

1.                  27 Tor House, Shepherds Hill, N6

2.                  56 Kitchener Road, N17

3.                  307 – 309 Queens Lane, N10

4.                  18-22 Grange Road, N6

5.                  32 Avenue Road, N6

The Committee considered a report recommending Tree Preservation Orders at the following addresses:

1. 27 Tor House, Shepherds Hill, N6
2. 56 Kitchener Road, N17
3. 307-309 Queens Lane, N10
4. 18-22 Grange Road, N6
5. 32 Avenue Road, N6

The Committee considered two letters of objection received in relation to 32 Avenue Road, and the advice of the arboriculturalist. It was noted that confirming a Tree Preservation Order on the site would not preclude future applications for works to the tree being submitted in due course.

In response to a question from the Committee, it was confirmed that the Council would seek internal or independent advice in respect of any petition to remove a tree as a result of advice from an insurance company. It was also confirmed that any member of the public, property owner or professional expert could initiate proceedings for a Tree Preservation Order if they had any concerns.

RESOLVED

That the Tree Preservation Orders set out in the report be confirmed.
