Number of individual Tree Preservation Orders administered by the Council

The request was successful.

Dear Great Yarmouth Borough Council,

Could you tell me how many individual Tree Preservation Orders are
currently administered by the Council?

Could you tell me the date when the oldest TPO currently still valid was
served?

Yours faithfully,

Dear Great Yarmouth Borough Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Great Yarmouth Borough Council's handling of my FOI request 'Number of individual Tree Preservation Orders administered by the Council'.

I have had no acknowledgement from this FoI request and wonder whether you could check its status?

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/n...

Yours faithfully,

Dear Jon Heuch

 

Sorry for the time this has taken.

 

We have sent your request on however the member of staff wasn’t quite sure
what you required regarding how many individual Tree Preservation Orders
are currently administered by the Council. Do you mean how many are
pending at present? Or how many we have dealt with in the past year? Or
how many we deal with in a year?

 

Many thanks

Dear georgia.wells,

The question can be restated as:

How many Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) have the council served that are still valid (i.e. have not been revoked). This includes TPOs that may have been served by previous councils and inherited by the council.

The second question relates to all the TPOs the council administers - how old is the oldest one?

Yours sincerely,
Jon Heuch
