Trees on Development Sites

Breckland Council wishes to retain existing trees on development sites, where those trees have been inspected and judged suitable for retention, in the interests of amenity.

However, development sites can be very hostile environments and to make sure that trees are not only retained until the completion of development, but are also sustained in a condition that gives them a useful life expectancy, they must be incorporated into sustainable designs and given adequate protection during the development period.

This aim can rarely be achieved unless development operations are approached in a structured manner. The links below give details of procedures that should be followed to achieve this.
