Paragraph 19 Implementation and maintenance of landscapingI1

All landscaping works, including replacement planting carried out in accordance with sub-paragraph (2), must be carried out in accordance with a landscaping scheme approved under Requirement 18 and to a standard in accordance with the relevant recommendations of appropriate British Standards or other recognised codes of good practice.

Any tree or shrub planted as part of any landscaping scheme approved under Requirement 18 that, within a period of five 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 agreed by the relevant planning authority.
