The Chief Planning and Transportation Officer presented information and photographs of the tree and advised Members that an assessment of the tree had been undertaken and was included in the report attached to the agenda.

- (2) That appropriate steps are taken to protect the tree and reinstate the soil that has been removed over the roots.
