Draft Papworth Everard Village Design Guide SPD

7. Landscape-led design: character

Representation ID: 167729

Received: 31/05/2019

Respondent: Woodland Trust

Representation Summary:

We support the proposal to protect existing trees, woods and hedgerows with the village. We would like to see planting of trees (whether street trees, trees on areas of greenspace or small copses) considered as part of any new development in the area. We would be happy to be consulted by the district council, parish council or housing developers regarding any such opportunities. There is strong evidence that planting of trees can help create pleasant, healthy environments for local residents, as well as encouraging wildlife and helping to tackle wider environmental problems such as climate change.
