Tree and Hedgerow Management

Under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, Winchester City Council, as the local planning authority, has a responsibility for the retention of trees in the district

Trees are an important natural asset and contribute much to the quality of our urban and rural environment. In addition to their visual amenity, trees act to filter noise, light and dust and play an essential role in the ecological system.
