Draft Sawston Village Design Statement SPD
Representation ID: 167730
Received: 31/05/2019
Respondent: Woodland Trust
We support the proposal in this section to retain existing trees and hedges and to look for opportunities to plant new trees and hedgerows to provide boundaries at the edge of development. We would also like to see new street trees and trees on areas of greenspace planted within new development, wherever possible. There is strong evidence that planting of trees can help create pleasant, healthy environments for local residents, as well as encouraging wildlife and helping to tackle wider environmental problems such as climate change.
