Mike Weeks (agent) was present and with the consent of the Chair, addressed the meeting.
The presenting officer confirmed the numbers of individual trees was 60 and not 61 and that there were 8 groups of trees and not 7 groups of trees, as stated in the report.
In addition it was noted that the report needed updating to state that only those trees classified within the red group in survey would require action at this stage. A number of changes of paragraphs within the report that resulted from this adjustment and it was noted that recommendation 3 of the report could be removed as it would not be required at this stage as it referred to a tree in the yellow group.
Upon being put to the vote the Panel unanimously supported the amended officer recommendations.
