Planning and Development Scrutiny Panel – 14 September 2021

 

Minute 7 – Council Trees Service Review

 

The Panel considered a report by the Director of Planning and Regeneration on the Council’s Tree Service Review. The report provided an opportunity for the Planning and Development Scrutiny Panel to scrutinise the report prior to the Executive meeting on the 21 September 2021.

 

The Head of Development Management presented the report highlighting the key areas of the review and how these in turn have influenced the recommendations put to the Executive for decision. The Panel expressed their support for the proposals and asked questions for clarification throughout the discussions.

 

Members of the Panel provided details of possible funding opportunities for tree planting and discussed the importance of tapping into as much available funding as possible. Officers explained that a lot of work has already been carried out to investigate funding opportunities for tree. It is expected that this work will increase once the proposals from the review have been agreed.

 

Members also enquired about the link to the proposed revisions to Council’s Tree Planting programme and the Council’s Climate Change Action Plan, asking for reassurance that these changes wouldn’t have a detrimental impact on the number of trees planted each year. Officers explained that with a re-organisation of the proactive tree planting towards strategic sites it was not anticipated that there would be an overall reduction in the number of trees planted and that this will be monitored by officers.

 

Members enquired as to which trees types capture the most carbon and if consideration could be given to this as part of the Council’s Tree Planting programme. Officers agreed to investigate this matter and notify Members of the Panel accordingly.

 

RESOLVED that the Planning and Development Scrutiny Panel: -

 

(a)  notes the contents of the Executive report at Appendix 1; and

 

(b)  recommends to the Executive at its meeting on 21 September 2021, that it endorses the recommendations as set out in Appendix 1.

 

This item was considered at item 9(1) on the agenda.
