SCC plans to retain all the existing screening along the western and southern boundaries. Although the planting is less intense along the public footpath, this boundary will also be retained and additional trees and shrubs will be interspersed with the existing planting.

SCC can guarantee all existing trees will be kept unless they are diseased, particularly on the site boundaries as they form the screening between the site and neighbouring properties. A few trees of lesser quality may need to be removed, for example if they are in the way of the new access road, but they will be replaced within the landscaping scheme. SCC is keen to protect all the wildlife on the site, and pays special attention to endangered species.
