OS3 Trees and Hedges

Development proposals should retain mature trees wherever possible and the proposed removal of any trees or hedges should be justified. Where a development proposal seeks to justify the removal of a tree or a hedge, it should demonstrate appropriate replacement with a similar variety within the development site to provide the best mitigation of impact on local character and the natural environment. This is a particularly important requirement where trees are removed and replacements need to be located to maintain the integrity of wildlife corridors.
