The policy should explicitly refer to use of native species, of local provenance where tree planting or hedge is proposed, subject only to considerations of climate change on long-term viability.
The policy should encourage, where appropriate, planting scrub species so recognising the importance of this habitat for "farmland" birds; the policy should be clear that woodland species are not always appropriate nor desirable.
