Tree Protection Order 1995 No2 was created as
a result of a planning application for a double garage on the
property to ensure adequate tree protection during the development,
which was undertaken without incident.
Upon its creation, TPO 1995 No2 consisted of a single group of
eight trees toward the eastern boundary of Whitehouse, Lindle Lane,
Hutton. Of the original eight trees two were previously removed
with permission from South Ribble Borough Council following an
application by a previous property owner.
Both removed trees were found have been colonised by honey fungus a
root pathogen.
This group order encroaches into an existing woodland order to the
eastern boundary of the property which will remain in force.
The order is no-longer required as the treat has been
removed.
To revoke Tree Protection Order 1995 No2 with
immediate effect.
Option 1 - To maintain the order in place,
however given two of the trees have been removed and the
development has been completed removing the treat to the trees, the
order is considered to be no-longered required.
Option 2 - To revoke the order, the property owner has demonstrated
sound arboricultural management, guidance indicates that it is not
expedient to protect trees currently under sound arboricultural
management.
