General Policy 2
GP2 of the Strategic Plan 2016 requires development to respect the character, amenity and appearance of the locality. The officer assessed the variation against the original condition's intent for landscaping as integral to mitigate landscape impact, finding the new tree planting sufficient to provide comprehensive mitigation, enhance screening to countryside, and integrate the site without adverse effects.
Limits approval to tree planting amendments
This approval only relates to the proposed amendments to the tree planting only, as shown on Hart 32-100. Reason: In order to establish the parameters of the approval and its relationship to the original approval.
Tree planting implementation and maintenance
All additional tree planting as shown on Hart 32-100 shall be carried out in the next available planting season, unless an alternative planting season is agreed in writing with the Department, then the planting shall be carried out as per that agreement. Any planting which, within a period of 5 years from the completion of the development, in the opinion of the Department is dying, being severely damaged or becoming seriously diseased, shall be replaced by plants of similar size and species to those originally required to be planted. Once provided, all hard landscaping works shall thereafter be permanently retained. Reason: The development has been completed and the reason for the planting was that the landscaping was an integral part of the scheme and to ensure the implementation and management of a satisfactory scheme of landscaping which will help to integrate the proposed development into the local landscape in the interests of the visual amenity of the area in a timely manner.
