The Committee:
(1) Agreed to establish a Street Tree Planting Scheme on the basis that this would be at nil cost to the Council;
(2) Authorised the Head of Place Development to make the necessary arrangements including the procurement of the requisite administrative resource to support the scheme;
(3) Noted that the scheme would commence as soon as reasonably practicable following the appointment of the administrative support but that no definitive start date could be given;
(4) Noted that the unit cost of £250 per tree would be adopted for any planting carried out in the remainder of the financial year and for the 2018/19 financial year, the rate to be subject to review in subsequent years as part of the annual review of fees and charges.
