Issue - meetings

RESOLVED

The District of Teignbridge (Former Tinkley Quarry) Tree Preservation Order 2025 is confirmed unmodified.

The Area Team Manager presented the application, and referred to:

·         Emails from the owner of the woodland to all members of the committee regarding the word ‘urban’ in section 4 and questioning the scoring. The Officer advised that this was standard wording in the TPO, it is recognised that the site is not in an urban area, and that even if the scoring were changed as suggested, the score would still have qualified for the making of the TPO. 

·         Letters of support for the TPO from the Chair of Trusham Parish Meeting.

·         An email from a resident questioning how the order was made.

It was proposed by Councillor J Taylor, seconded by Councillor Sanders and
