Respondent: Forestry Commission
Thank you for consulting the Forestry Commission on your new Masterplan and SEA/HRA documents.
The only suggestion we would make is to perhaps introduce street trees into new developments and existing streets. Some councils have agreed that all new streets in new developments, will be tree lined.
Street trees can help improve air quality in city centres, help with flood risk and can lower temperatures during hot weather. They provide valuable green infrastructure for both residents and biodiversity.
