Tree protection during works
Prior to the commencement of any excavation or hard surfacing works, all trees which are to remain and which are within 2m of any proposed works must be appropriately protected from damage during works by the erection of protective fencing to create a protected area 2m from and around each tree trunk within which there may be no vehicles driven or parked and no materials stored. All such fencing must be retained for the duration of the engineering works. Any roots which are severed during works must be cut cleanly and protected using heavy gauge polythene if toxic materials are likely to come into contact with the roots. Reason: in order to ensure that those trees which are to remain are protected from damage during works; the advice of the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture is recommended in this respect.
No removal of trees 20, 21, 22
