Woodland creation and conservation should be a major priority in the Local Plan with the maximum possible proportion of new trees native. Irreplacable habitats, including ancient and veteran trees must be protected from loss or damage. The LP should give strong weight to Local Nature Recovery Strategies and these should inform priority locations for GI, BNG and habitat creation. Veteran trees should be recorded on the Ancient Tree Inventory.
