Report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place)

Further to Minute 8/19 of the meeting held on 24 September, 2019, the Cabinet Member considered a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) which reported that the public consultation did not commence as scheduled due to a small technical adjustment that had to be made to the way in which ancient and veteran trees were defined in the document, following legal advice.

Therefore, the report remained unchanged from September apart from the minor technical adjustment and the proposed consultation dates. The consultation period was now proposed to start Monday January, 2020.

RESOLVED that, the Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities having considered the consultation document statement included at Appendix 2 of the report, approves a final round of public participation on the Trees & Development Guidelines SPD. The consultation period is proposed to run for six weeks between Monday 6 January, 2020 and Monday 17 February, 2020.
