Ecological value of trees must be considered in addition to amenity value, both in terms of the value of existing but also that of replacement specimens (specimen groups). The policy should encourage maximisation of Biodiversity enhancements in all circumstances as this is a good mechanism for supporting nature's recovery and in urban areas and contribute to the delivery of the local nature recovery strategy.
