S Nicholson reported that residents on Mill Drive and Barleygate had received letters from ERYC, the parish council hadn’t received any communication, reporting that the proposed work to be carried out on Barleygate and Mill Drive was to be changed from what had previously been agreed.

17/01953/TCA – Mrs Couttie – Blue Cedar tree to be felled for re-development of garden structure, size concerns if left to mature at 86 West Street, Leven.

There are no supporting plans/evidence of what work is to be carried out and why the tree needs to come down.
