Sevenoaks District Council has no statutory duty to serve notice or consult with stakeholders for tree work applications, but notifies the Town Council as a matter of courtesy. More recently tree work applications have had a very tight turn around for decisions, in some cases only a matter of 2-3 days, which does not allow the Town Council any opportunity to make meaningful comment. It is suggested that a modification is made to the Town Council’s protocol for the handling of tree work applications to maximise the opportunity to object to unreasonable applications, suggested protocol as follows: 1. All Town Councillors are sent Sevenoaks District Council’s weekly list by email as soon as it arrives, typically AM on Thursdays 2. It is the responsibility of ward Councillors to review the list and raise any objections to a tree work application with the Chairman and Clerk 3. Any representation will be arranged under Chairman’s action and reported back to the next Planning Committee meeting or Full Council if sooner It should be noted there is still no statutory requirement for Sevenoaks District Council to take on board any objections made. For clarity a recommendation to be made to Council that the Standing orders for the Planning Committee be updated to explicitly allow Chairman’s Action for tree work applications, wording as follows: The Chairman of the Committee or in his/her absence the Vice Chairman in consultation with another Committee member (to be a ward member for the site concerned) and the Town Clerk to have executive powers to make observations to the Local Planning Authority in respect of Tree Work applications (both Conservation Area and Tree Preservation Order) which the Town Council is notified of in order to maximise the opportunity to object to inappropriate works prior to a determination being reached by the Local Planning Authority. Where this executive power has been exercised the observations made to the Local Planning Authority are to be reported to the next meeting of the Planning Committee or direct to the need meeting of the Town Council if sooner. Recommendations: 1. Updated protocol for handling of tree work applications outlined above be adopted 2. A recommendation be put to Council that the Standing Orders for the Planning Committee be updated as outlined above 3. A letter be sent to Richard Morris (CCed to Portfolio Holder for Local Planning and Environment) requesting that SDC implement a 1 week grace period before making a determination on tree work applications to allow an opportunity for the Town Council / Local Residents to object to applications.
