The facts about the damage
to trees on the former William Gee school site are as follows:-
-The developers applied for outline planning
permission in 2015.
· - Outline
planning permission was granted in 2016.
· - Planning
Committee – of which John Fareham was and is a member – ordered that no
building should take place until a full landscaping scheme (including of course
what should happen to the trees) was approved.
· - On the very day - 15th May this year - they
started cutting trees down without
permission we took action, asking the officers to enforce Planning
Committee’s position. We also told local residents about that in CONTACT! at the time.
· - The
developer was contacted the same day and said the trees weren’t protected by
law. Following our lead, the officers insisted
he look carefully at his landscaping plans so they would repair the damage.
·- The
developer said in May that a full planning application would be submitted
within four weeks. Hull City Council are
still waiting to receive it.
