OS 5

The wooded and leafy character of Pyrford is an important asset to the community:

  1. Development proposals should be accompanied by a tree survey that establishes the health and longevity of any trees impacted by the proposal. Development that damages or results in the loss of trees of good arboricultural or amenity value, or that results in the loss of such trees, without their appropriate replacement elsewhere on the site, will not be permitted. Where removal of a tree(s) is proposed, a replacement of similar amenity value should be provided on site.
  2. Where possible, the planting of additional trees should be included in new developments, particularly local species that are significantly represented in the Ancient Semi-Natural Woodland areas defined in Map 9 below.
  3. Development proposals which may adversely affect areas designated as Ancient Semi-Natural Woodland, as defined in Map 9 below, will not be supported.
