Paragraph 17 Landscape – implementation and maintenance of landscaping works

All landscaping works (with the exception of the highway works which are governed by Parts 2 and 3 of Schedule 13 (protective provisions)) must be carried out and maintained in accordance with the written landscaping scheme approved under requirement 16 (landscape – written landscaping scheme).

Any tree or shrub planted as part of an approved landscape scheme that, within a period of 10 years after planting is removed, dies or becomes, in the opinion of the local 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 the local planning authority gives consent to any variation.
