LL13 Highway/ motorway schemes

The Council will oppose any new, improved or altered highway or motorway proposal unless the associated landscaping scheme (including earth-mounding and planting) will:

  • use appropriate species; make effective visual screens;
  • create effective sound barriers; and
  • adequately replace trees, hedgerows and woodlands which will be lost to the development.

The Council will seek to ensure that, where feasible, appropriate landscaping will be undertaken prior to the commencement of construction works.
