Policy information sourced from Hampstead Neighbourhood Plan
NE4 Trees
- Development proposals that have the potential to affect trees should be supported by tree protection details in accordance with the most recent version of BS 5837 and landscaping details that demonstrate:
- how trees retained on site, and neighbouring sites where appropriate, will be protected and;
- how any trees removed to facilitate development will be replaced by trees of a size appropriate to the location where the site allows; and
- provide for the new planting of trees unless this is unfeasible.
- Any development that proposes removal of a tree on the Important Tree List (see Chapter 9) should include, within the application, justification for the removal(s) and details of replacement tree planting to mitigate against the loss of canopy cover where site constraints allow.
- The planting of street trees and trees within the public realm will be supported.
