Redrow Homes destroy the landscape
« on: February 18, 2020, 08:02:33 AM »

A developer which chopped down trees without permission has pledged to come up with plans to plant replacements.

Redrow Homes said the trees were removed from the edge of a new-build housing site in Royston, Hertfordshire, for drainage works to be carried out.

North Herts District Council (NHDC) said a planning application "clearly indicated" the trees would be retained.

A Redrow spokesman said it was working on an "updated landscaping proposal to include replacement planting".



Wonder whether the replacements will be whips bought in bulk or more mature trees and who will be responsible for ensuring that these survive !  All that ivy on those remaining will be habitat for critters  :-\  :'(
