STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR MAKING THE ORDER
As part of a review of Tree Preservation Orders across their administrative area, Aberdeenshire Council have reviewed the original Tree Preservation Order B&BDC No. 21 (1989), served on an area of ground adjacent to the property known as Romanno, Bowling Green Road, Turriff. Aberdeenshire Council consider that this small area of woodland continues to make a valuable contribution to the amenity and character of this area of Turriff and as such should be protected in the long term.
The area of ground covered by the existing Order remains unchanged but the format has been varied to more accurately classify the area as a woodland.
The new Order has been served on relevant parties.
