Application Notes:
Whilst the Town Council has no objections to this application per se and comment that it is an admirable scheme, Members would like to see comments from the Environment Agency and the Ecology Officer before making a decision on this application. Following a reconsultation on 28.08.21, Members discussed the application further and the decision was made that the Committee would be objecting to this application. The Radbrook valley has huge ecological importance to this area; it provides the heart and lungs to the town, therefore any development in this area must have measures that actively supports the ecological integrity of the area. Equally the Council sees that the sustainability of the tree stock is hugely importance in stabilising the banks of the river and preventing flooding and erosion. This Council feels this application lacks the detail to support this development from both an ecological point of view and an arboricultural point of view
