This Supplementary Planning Guidance is a joint publication between the Greater London Authority and the Forestry Commission. It sets out an approach to trees and woodland that: covers the audit, protection and management of 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; and takes a step by step approach to the management of trees and woodland. Two case studies, showing the approach taken by one inner and one outer London Borough, are attached as these may be helpful to other boroughs.
