Agenda

Delegated planning decisions for the week beginning 8 April 2019 are attached.  Contact for enquiries: Jean McPherson, Group Manager: Development Management on 01293 438577.

Four trees are to be removed from the Memorial Gardens in the next few weeks.

A large Oak and a Lime tree are both diseased and need to be removed before work to the play area begins later this year.  The Oak tree is protected so this is subject to permission from Development Control.  A smaller Lime tree is to be removed to ensure that once the play area improvements are complete the area is opened with good visibility throughout the site, removing any obstructions.  A Willow tree will also be removed because it is diseased and dying; this tree will be replaced in 2020 which gives time for the infection to clear.

For more details contact Ben King, Community Services Project Manager.

A new, 75”, digital sign has now been installed in Queens Square at the bottom of the Martlets.  There is currently a digital screen on one side and printed poster site on the other.  It is our intention to submit an amendment to the advertising consent shortly to permit the use of double-sided digital screens.

The sign will carry messages about council services, local events and activities, as well as third party advertising that will provide an income stream.  Ad sales will be managed by Avensys, a local company based in Manor Royal and where the screen was sourced from.
