On September 16, 2020, the owner appealed the Committee's decision to refuse the Applications to the Toronto Local Appeal Body (the "TLAB"). In a report from the Supervisor, Tree Protection and Plan Review, dated May 27, 2020, Urban Forestry Staff opposed the Applications and recommended its refusal. A copy of the Urban Forestry report is attached. Urban Forestry Staff opined that the approval of the requested Consent to Sever application may result in construction that requires the permanent loss of viable planting space and the cancellation of a planned City tree. Urban Forestry staff also stated that the Official Plan contains policies specifically to the protection, preservation and enhancement of trees.
