Q10 — Trees.

A. Proposals for new development will be required to take particular account of existing trees on the site and on adjoining land. B. Development will not be permitted that would result in the loss of trees of significant amenity, historic or ecological/habitat conservation value (including veteran trees), or give rise to a threat, immediate or long term, to the continued wellbeing of such trees. C. Where trees are located within a development site, the proposal will be supported only where it has been demonstrated that: i. trees of significant amenity, historic or ecological/habitat conservation value have been retained as part of the site layout; ii. the retained trees can be satisfactorily protected from construction impacts and site works during the development stage; and iii. the retained trees have been positively integrated, on a sustainable basis, as part of the site layout. D. The council will continue to protect trees in new development by making tree preservation orders and/or by the use of appropriate planning conditions. E. The council will continue to protect trees, by the use of tree preservation orders, that contribute to the amenity of an area or that are under threat from inappropriate pruning works or removal.  To table of contents Lambeth Local Plan 2020–2035 | Section 10: Quality of the Built Environment F. Wherever appropriate, the planting of additional trees should be included in new developments in a coordinated way to maximise the green infrastructure network. G. Where it is imperative to remove trees, adequate replacement planting will be secured. The amount and nature of the replacement planting will be based on the existing value of the benefits of the trees removed, calculated using cost/benefit tools such as i-tree or CAVAT as set out in London Plan policy G7 C.
