R oad Agreement Policy for the Protection of Highway Trees affected by NewRoad Agreement Policy • March 18th, 2019
Hampshire County Council (HCC) recognises trees on highway land as public capital assets, playing a key role in the conservation of Hampshire's biodiversity as well as enhancing the environment for residents. The aim of this policy is to encourage developers to minimise the impact of new developments on all highway tree assets, especially those of high amenity value. Where tree removal is necessary, this policy and supporting Technical Guidance Note 15 – Landscaping and Trees, will outline the process for determining the compensation required for the loss of those highway assets, with the aim of streamlining the process for both HCC and developers.
