18: Trees

Development shall protect trees in good health that contribute to the character of the Area, individual streetscapes, and green spaces. This shall be achieved by development that:

  1. Protects existing trees and provides for their maintenance.
  2. Makes provision for the planting of equivalent numbers of new trees where trees are cut down.
  3. Makes provision for the appropriate planting of additional trees, relative to the size of the development.
  4. Makes appropriate provision for the planting and maintenance of new street trees - particularly alongside the main roads identified in G12.
