Notable trees

Notable trees are trees of outstanding historical, botanical, landscape, amenity or cultural value in the district.

The Part Operative District Plan 2025 lists notable trees in SCHED4 – Schedule of Notable Trees.  Notable trees are also identified on the planning maps. There are rules managing activities on and around notable trees such as trimming and maintenance, earthworks and root pruning, plus removal, partial removal or destruction.
