Preparing Borough tree and woodland strategies. Draft Supplementary Planning Guidance
The Mayor of London has published draft Supplementary Planning Guidance on tree and woodland strategies for consultation. It sets out an approach to trees and woodland that: covers the audit, protection and management on trees and woodland in line with Policy 7.21 of the London Plan; highlights the asset value of trees and woodland, both in financial terms and the broad range of economic and environmental benefits they provide; considers all the trees in a borough as a single unified resource – an ‘urban forest’; extends the concept of an ‘urban forest’ across boundaries so that the cumulative benefits of trees to Londoners can be enhanced; takes a step by step approach to the management of trees and woodland. Comments are requested by 23 April 2012.
