Trees, hedges and woodland – The National Trust care for vast numbers of trees, hedges, and areas of woodland within South Warwickshire and they hold significant value in respect of visual amenity, landscape character, habitats, and clean air, and are crucial to tacking climate change. We are supportive of the Local Plan’s policy direction to promote the retention of existing trees, woodlands, and hedgerows in the first instance as these take many decades to mature and realise their full benefits. It will also require the enhancement of sites with new tree planting as part of all development proposals. We are supportive that any proposed loss of trees in areas of historic significance (conservation areas, ancient woodlands, traditional orchards) must be based upon arboricultural evidence.
