Representation ID: 4993
Received: 17/03/2023
Respondent: Chichester Tree Wardens
See also representations on Policy NE8 Trees, Hedgerows and Woodlands, particularly the need to ensure (our proposed wording) “Developments will be expected to retain existing and planted trees for the long term and demonstrate succession planning.”
An example of why retention/succession needs to be explicit comes from summer 2022, when Chichester College clear-felled all the trees internal to its main car parking areas, defeating the object of the planting scheme on which planning permission was given in the late 1980s and a subsequent large new building was approved.
