Arboriculture
When you are in property development, you may find your planning permission asking for details to demonstrate the protection of existing trees and hedgerows. This is because trees are of immense value to the environment and are a material consideration in planning terms. This is reflected in the revised National Planning Policy Framework, which emphasises their contribution to the character and quality of urban environments and their role in mitigating climate change.
Arboriculture is the science and practice of the cultivation, establishment and management of amenity trees for the benefit of society
