Deferred by 13 votes to 0
No officer report was published for this decision; this summary is from the committee minutes.
- The application was for works to thirteen larch trees, including reductions, felling and understorey trimming.
- A member felt larch trees were non-native and unsuitable as replacements for felled trees, and the tree officer said other species could be considered.
- The committee voted to defer the application to allow more time to consider replacement tree species, 13 in favour, none against.
