Suggest that this refers broadly to 'landscaping' rather than specifically 'street trees' to provide some flexibility, depending on the final design intentions and relationship with highway design/safety.
Suggest that this refers broadly to 'landscaping' rather than specifically 'street trees' to provide some flexibility, depending on the final design intentions and relationship with highway design/safety. This would also ensure accordance with the development principles set out in Figure 52 where planting on the Chesterton Road frontage is listed as one of the 'Opportunities for new tree planting/landscape'. It should therefore not automatically be assumed to involve trees and is an opportunity rather than certainty.
Finally, it is suggested that the need for agreement with the Local Highways Authority is referenced. Suggest 4.3.28 is updated as follows:
'Street trees or other landscaping is encouraged along the Chesterton Road frontage as part of any public realm improvements, subject to approval from the local highways authority'.
