Trees and Vegetation7.5 Replacement planting should be of similar speciesand should be planted in appropriately sized space, i.e.with sufficient distance from buildings and foundations,so that trees can mature and grow to their full height. it isnot acceptable to replace trees that have been removedor damaged during construction with smaller/ornamentalspecies, as these will not grow to the appropriate height tocontribute to the existing tree cover. Refer to the speciesschedule on page 31 for more information .7.6 Proposals should also consider screening benefitsof under storey shrub planting and allow adequate space forlarge shrub and hedge planting.7.7 all plant species should be either locally nativeor in keeping with species found in the character area.Ornamental planting should not dominate the landscape.Because of the possible impact of climate change anddiseases on certain species it is recommended that a mix ofspecies is planted.7.8 Development should seek to plant new treesthat will over time add to the tree cover and replace othersas they grow older and in the longer term ensure that theamount of cover of the tree canopy is maintained. Removalof trees within a plot should be resisted as it can have adetrimental effect to the wooded skyline and lead to visiblegaps.7.9 New trees that are planted should be far enoughfrom buildings and foundations to allow them to grow to fullmaturity. Buffers for trees will depend on their root protectionarea (RPa) as defined by the arboricultural assessmentsunder British Standards (BS).7.10 BS 5837:2005 gives recommendations andguidance on the principles to be applied to achieve asatisfactory juxtaposition of trees, including shrubs, hedgesand hedgerows, with structures. it follows, in sequence, thestages of planning and implementing the provisions whichare essential to allow development to be integrated withtrees. This Standard recognizes that there can be problemsof development close to existing trees which are to beretained, and of planting trees close to existing structures.Landscape treatment7.11 areas of hard standing in front gardens should belimited to access drives and should not dominate the greensetting. These should be surfaced with textured materials,such as porous paving or gravel. Soft landscape shoulddominate front gardens.x metresFigure 7.4: Sketchillustrating the principleof buffer zones aroundplanting.
