OS5 GREENING THE BOROUGH

The council will seek to enhance biodiversity and green infrastructure in the borough by:

  • maximising the provision of gardens, garden space and soft landscaping, seeking green or brown roofs and other planting as part of new development;
  • protecting back, front and side gardens from new development and encouraging planting in both back and front gardens;
  • seeking to prevent removal or mutilation of protected trees;
  • seeking retention of existing trees and provision of new trees on development sites; and
  • adding to the greening of streets and the public realm;
  • making Tree Preservation Orders where justified in the interests of amenity.
