PNP4 Retain hedgerows and trees on development sites if possible. These should be replaced if they have to be removed during development. It's important to maintain as much urban wildlife (incl pollinators) as possible.

Pirton is a green village. It is important that it does not become urbanized and retains it's rural character.

Clause 4.2 refers to the replacement of trees and hedgerows with "...trees of no less aboriculture or amenity value". The Council is not clear how this requirement could be measured and considers that these words could be deleted from the policy.

Again the Character Assessment document takes hold of policy strategy and demonstrates the "green and environmental" approach.
