Decision:
This decision is taken under delegated powers set out in
Paragraph 145 of the Officer Scheme of Delegation in the Council’s
constitution, which grants delegated authority to undertake all action in order
to regulate any actual, perceived or potential breach of any of the Town and
Country Planning Legislation including:
(f) to determine whether or not to take and/or to cease
action whether because in his/her opinion the breach is trivial, there is
insufficient demonstrable harm and/or, it is not expedient to take / continue
to take action
This authority has been delegated to me through the Local
Scheme of Nomination for the Executive Director for Place.
The tree appeared to be in good health, with a full
canopy almost 3 ½ years after officer’s first visit to view
the zip line and platform.
Wooden screening has been erected around the platform to
ensure privacy of
neighbours, and the platform was also hidden from neighbours
by the
overhanging canopy of the tree itself.
Formal action, the harm having been ascertained as less than substantial means there is no public interest to take the matter further.
None.
None.
