Policy SC11: Trees and Woodland: Sets out detailed guidance for the protection of trees and hedgerows, including ensuring that they are properly looked after following the development of a site.
Policy SC12: Green and Blue Infrastructure: Sets out detailed guidance for new trees, hedgerow and other green and blue infrastructure to be provided, and ensures that they are properly looked after following the development of a site.
Policy SC13: Urban Greening Factor: Sets a standard for green and blue infrastructure on-site that it should not be decreased in quantity, or of worse quality than the starting position, based on a scoring system, and that it should be diverse and natural. Anything already on-site that is retained, like trees and hedgerows, will result in a higher score.
