Landscape Protection in Extensions and Alterations
The Department resists proposals that would result in the loss of significant local landscape features, particularly trees subject to Tree Preservation Orders or contributing to designated areas. Where proposals impact local landscape features, compensatory planting should normally be provided.
The Department will resist proposals for extensions or other ancillary buildings that would result in the loss of significant local landscape features, in particular trees which are the subject of a Tree Preservation Order or which contribute to areas designated for their townscape or heritage importance. In other cases, where proposals impact on local landscape features, the Department will normally seek the provision of compensatory planting to mitigate against the loss of local environmental quality and assist in the promotion of biodiversity.
