PART II
122 TREE PRESERVATION ORDER G111
Trees at Rochford House, Newton Place, Lee-on-the-Solent
Consideration was given to a report of the Borough Solicitor (a copy of which is attached in the Minute Book as Appendix ‘A’).

In answer to a question, Members were informed that should the Tree Preservation Order be confirmed, the onus would be on the owner to prove that the roots were causing subsidence to the property should he wish to apply for removal of the trees in the future.

In answer to a Member’s question, it was confirmed that 106 Agreements were completed prior to planning applications being considered and therefore the legal process did not delay the planning process. It was also confirmed that officers had not yet been informed of the amount of Planning Delivery Grant to be received based on current performance delivery. It was explained that the number of enquiries relating to possible breaches of planning control actioned in this quarter included enquiries received in the last quarter, which was why 39 enquiries had been received and 40 actioned.
