14.135Public Speaking Time
Miss S Tickle spoke about application number 14/1695/TCA. She explained that her property in Victoria Place borders the application site. She said that there are some dead trees but there are two full sized live conifers. The trees formed a screen between her property and Redcliff Court. As far as she was concerned they formed part of the planning consent granted in 1979 to preserve privacy and they should not be removed. Miss Tickle asked that her written notes be passed onto the relevant Tree warden.
Cllr A J Dent explained that the Town Council defers its decisions on trees to David Colman, District Council Tree Officer and as such it would be him that would be making a decision on this as Councillors do not feel qualified to comment on such matters.
