THE PLANNING TREES (AMENDMENT) REGULATIONS (NORTHERN IRELAND) 2007

Notice is hereby given that the Department of the Environment has, in exercise of the power conferred by Article 65(2) of the Planning (Northern Ireland) Order 1991, made on 19th January 2007 the Planning (Trees) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007 (S.R. No. 10) which will come into operation on 12th February 2007.

The purpose of this Statutory Rule is to make a minor administrative amendment to the Planning (Trees) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003. It removes the requirement for a Tree Preservation Order to be sealed with the Department’s seal and provides instead that such an Order should be signed by an authorised officer of the department.

Copies of the Statutory Rule are available from the Stationery Office, 16 Arthur Street, Belfast, BT1 4PS and on the OPSI website at www.opsi.gov.uk.
