Paragraph 6 Implementation and maintenance of landscaping and restoration worksI1

All landscaping, restoration and aftercare works must be carried out in accordance with the landscaping and restoration scheme approved under requirement 5 and to a reasonable standard in accordance with the relevant recommendations of appropriate British Standards or other recognised codes of good practice.

The landscaping works must be carried out in accordance with implementation timetables approved under requirement 5 provided that the land shall be restored by 31 December 2026 at the latest.

Any tree or shrub planted as part of an approved landscaping and restoration scheme that, within a period of 10 years after planting, is removed, dies or becomes, in the opinion of the relevant planning authority, seriously damaged or diseased, must be replaced in the first available planting season with a specimen of the same species and size as that originally planted, unless otherwise approved by the relevant planning authority.
