North Area Committee: Update on Woodhead Drive/ Milton Road Junction Improvements

Update from Cllr Ward regarding Tree Works Application and other suggested improvements at the Milton Road junction of Woodhead Drive.

The improvements to Milton Road/ Woodhead Drive junction, relate to trees with a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) (38/1988). These are unusual circumstance in that ordinarily the Council would not TPO its owns trees, however, when the land was transferred to City Council ownership, this also transferred the TPOs.

As works were proposed, an application was considered on the basis that the City Council was an external applicant, and the Council therefore followed the established process for determining TPO decisions.

Attached below is a link, which shows the proposed works, neighbour letter and consultation drawings:

The application was also included on the planning application register that is circulated weekly.

As there where no objections, the application was determined at Officer level.
