We Asked, You Said, We Did
Here are some of the issues we have consulted on and their outcomes. See all outcomes
We asked
We sought views on the removal of two Birch trees on Alexandra Road. The trees need to be removed due to an established link to property damage that they have been causing.
You said
There were six responses via the online consultation and 1 responce made directly to the Trees and Woodlands team.
Four of the respondents did not want to see the tree removed, with reasons given such as loss of amenity, loss of environmental benefits and a concern surrounding the replacement trees not being planted in the same location.
Two responses supported the tree removals as long as there were replacements within the city.
We did
We have reviewed the feedback and the decision has been made to remove the trees as there are directly linked to ongoing property damage which is an actionable nuisance in law. This decision was carefully considered and, in this case, there is no alternative solution other than to remove the trees. This decision is in line with the councils tree strategy and policy.
As part of the tree strategy, there needs to be more than one replacement tree for every significant tree lost. Therefore, new trees will be replanted within the ward if appropriate locations are available. If there are no suitable locations within the ward, the replacement planting will take place in other wards within the city.
