In particular no excavations, site works, trenches or channels shall be cut or pipes or services laid or any other works carried out in such a way as to cause damage or injury to trees by interference with their root structure and no soil or waste shall be deposited on the land in such a position as to be likely to cause damage or injury to the trees.
