The City Council’s Trees and Woodlands Strategy was approved by
full Council on 18th April 2012 to be adopted as part of the
council’s major policy framework. The strategy was an update of the
1998 document which was subject to external consultation throughout
2011.
The decision to update our current Trees and Woodlands Strategy
was taken to take account of the significant changes that have
taken place over the last thirteen years. The updated draft
strategy includes a number of key issues including a proposal to
move away from response based reactive works to a programme of
inspections, followed by tree works based upon those findings. A
‘right tree in the right place’ framework is also being developed
which is hoped to avoid the selection and planting of inappropriate
tree species.
