Tree and woodland management policies and procedures

The Council will normally aim to replace trees that are removed on a one for one basis where appropriate and where resources are available.

Requests for Memorial or Commemorative trees can also be made via an application form.

New tree planting schemes and requests may also be eligible for the Community Participation Budget, subject to a feasibility assessment undertaken by the Tree Management team. The Community Participation Budget is a small budget that is allocated across the Borough on a ward-by-ward basis with the Ward Councillors determining the priorities for their own Ward. It is important to highlight that as this budget is limited and a high volume of requests are received it is necessary for the Ward Councillors to prioritise which projects are undertaken.
