Tree Preservation Order No Tree Preservation Order No. 151 – 88 Tweendykes Road. Summary A Tree Preservation Order was placed on 4 trees to the front of 88 Tweendykes Road on 6th September, 2007. This was prompted by a request for comments on a proposal for the erection of an additional dwelling to the east of No. 88. The request was made by Planning Officers. The tree covered by the TPO are:- T1 – Beech Tree, T2 – Beech Tree, T3 – Sycamore Tree, T4 – Sycamore Tree The site is located on the north side of Tweendykes and the trees lie close to the back edge of the footpath within garden of No. 88. The site is not within a Conservation Area. The Tree Preservation Order remains in force for six months from the time it is made, unless confirmed before that time. A decision on confirmation is therefore required by 6th March, 2008. Site visits have been carried out by an HCC Planning Development Control Officer and an HCC Urban Forestry Officer. An outline approval from 2006 exists on the gaps site between nos. 88 and 86 for the erection of a single dwelling. Representations / Objections 2 letters have been received following the formal notification of the order one of which is considered an objection raising the following:- - It would have been good manners to discuss the intention to TPO the trees piror to the notification. - The trees are currently causing damage to No. 88 and tree contractors had been lined up to carry out cutting back of the trees. This work has now had to be delayed and if subsequent damage is caused to the property the Council will be held responsible. - The plans do not identify the trees correctly. - There is no intention to remove the trees, they do make a positive contribution to the are but they are in need of some cutting back. - All the trees down Tweendykes should be subject to a similar order in the interests of consistency. Urban Forestry Officer Comments There are a number of mature trees sited within the front garden of this address, they all make a valuable contribution to the area's amenity value continuing the line of mature tree specimens from the Leads Road junction along the Tweendykes corridor, It is considered that they are all worthy of protecting. Appraisal These trees were considered worthy of a TPO because of their amenity value for the wider area. Given that development interest had also been shown on the site, which may have lead to a loss of the trees, it was considered reasonable to protect them. This does not mean that works to the trees as outlined by the objection would be resisted, however it would not be considered reasonable to fell them. Given that the site is not within a Conservation Area the applicant could have felled them, by imposing a TPO the Council’s consent is now required for such works. Local Plan Policy NE1 8 states that trees of significant amenity value should be protected, and that TPO’s should be made where appropriate. One other set of trees is covered by a TPO on Tweendykes Road and the road does have a lot of similar trees. However these trees are not considered to be at risk. Conclusion These trees make a positive contribution to the area and a TPO is considered necessary to prevent their felling. Sensitive tree works would be considered appropriate, if a request were made. Recommendation That the Tree Preservation Order is confirmed. .

  • Bankhouse Plantation, Darvel Tpo 2000
    EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES COMMITTEE : 1 AUGUST 2000 THE BANKHOUSE PLANTATION, DARVEL (PROVISIONAL) TREE PRESERVATION ORDER 2000 Report by Director of Development Services 1. PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 The purpose of this report is to advise the Committee of progress regarding the seeking of an agreement on the future management of the Bankhouse Plantation, Darvel with the owners of the plantation and to seek Committee approval for the Bankhouse Plantation, Darvel (Provisional) Tree Preservation Order 2000 to be confirmed. 2. BACKGOUND 2.1 A report on Bankhouse Plantation, Darvel was made to the Development Services Committee on 29 September 1999. This report advised that the owners of the plantation, James Jones and Sons Ltd, had not responded to formal invitations to discuss future management of the woodland with the Planning Division and Legal Services. 2.2 The report also set out the legal and financial implications to the Council in the event of, either a Management Agreement being made with the owners, or no such agreement being reached, if the above provisional Tree Preservation Order was confirmed. These implications are reprised as Sections 5 and 6 of this report. 2.3 The Committee decided that the Head of Planning and Building Control should continue to try and reach agreement with James Jones and Sons Ltd regarding the future management of Bankhouse Plantation and that such an agreement should be pursued with the Forestry Commission. 3. CURRENT SITUATION 3.1 Despite a further series of attempts by the Planning and Building Control Division to engage James Jones and Sons Ltd in discussions on their possibly entering into a Management Agreement for the Bankhouse Plantation with the Council, no response has been received by the Planning and Building Control Division from the owners of the plantation.
