The submitted report stated that Tree Preservation Order (TPO) 2019 No. 11, had been made on 25 September 2019 on one mature Willow Tree on land adjacent to The Lodge, Dinsdale Spa House, Church Lane, Middleton St. George, as a result of a request to the Local Planning Authority as the tree was thought to be at risk of being felled.

RESOLVED – That the Tree Preservation Order (TPO) be confirmed without modification.
