TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING (SCOTLAND) ACT 1997 TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING (TREE PRESERVATION ORDER ANDTREES IN CONSERVATION AREAS) (SCOTLAND) REGULATIONS 2010 THE MIDLOTHIAN COUNCIL TREE PRESERVATION ORDER NO. 1 (2025) LAND AT POMATHORN MILL NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN AS FOLLOWS:-

On 27/10/2025 the above Order was made bringing trees on Land at Pomathorn Mill under the planning control of Midlothian Council as Planning Authority under the above Act and Regulations whereby the Council’s previous written permission is necessary before the trees can be lopped or felled. Certified copies of the order and related map may be examined on the Midlothian Council website:- www.midlothian.gov.uk/downloads/download/749/tree_preservation_orders

The Council’s reasons for making the Order are that the woodland is of value and suitable for protection through a Tree Preservation Order for the following reasons:

• For its contribution to the landscape amenity of the local area and the wider landscape setting when viewed from the west and south especially.

• For its contribution to the landscape character of the River North Esk corridor, its tributaries and the countryside southwest of Penicuik.

• For its importance in providing visual screening of the site’s current industrial buildings and hardstanding and to provide screening for any future land use.

• For its importance for biodiversity and green network connections. The TPO site is partially covered by the Penicuik Mill Lade and the River Esk to Esk Bridge Local Biodiversity Site within which semi natural broadleaved woodland and broadleaved plantation are highlighted as notable habitats, and is listed as ancient woodland (recorded in the Ancient Woodland Inventory mapping (Naturescot) as predominantly Ancient of semi-natural origin and a smaller area of long established plantation origin), and partially as native woodland (Native Woodland Survey of Scotland (NWSS).

• Based on the recent site history of tree removal, the woodland is potentially at risk of further felling or deforestation.

• The woodland is assessed to be of reasonable condition with a retention period of over forty years.

Any representations in relation to the Order should be made to Midlothian Council in writing and state the grounds of the representations. Representations must be sent by email to the Head of Placemaking at conservation@midlothian.gov.uk by 12/12/2025. The Order became effective on 27/10/2025.
