Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 550

Received: 29/01/2019

Respondent: Mr Robin Kidd

Representation Summary:

We need better protection and replanting for trees in public spaces in Chichester city centre, specifically around the city walls, in West Street by the cathedral, and to replace the trees recently killed on New Park Road. Although the policy states that replanting is required, I see no replanting of the trees recently felled in West Street. The forward thinking of past generations should be continued today for the benefit of future generations. It is not enough just to prevent privately-owned trees from being cut down; I would like to see more focus on the trees in public spaces.
