Supplementary Planning Guidance - The Landscape & Natural Environment Design Code
Purpose
This document contains Supplementary Planning Guidance [SPG] covering treatment of all aspects of the natural environment on development sites. It provides further guidance to support policies in the Poole Local Plan First Alteration (Adopted March 2004) including those on protected species, heathland, trees, open space and landscaping.
Consultation
The Code was initially published as a series of separate leaflets known as "The Landscape Design Code". These were issued for public consultation in parallel with the consultations relating to the Adopted Poole Local Plan (August 1998). SPG-LS-3 (now Section 4.1) "Development of Sites with Trees" has been subject to a separate and later consultation process with community groups, architects, agents, developers, local authorities and professional bodies. SPG-LS-3 was issued for formal consultation in parallel to the deposit of the Poole Local Plan First Alteration in July 2000. On the 29th August 2001 the Executive Committee of the Council approved this document which consolidates SPG-LS-3 with all the previous separate 'leaflets' into one document which also brings them up to date in terms of references to legislation, government departments and other organisations. As a consequence there has been some necessary re-numbering, linking of passages and minor re-wording of the text from previously approved leaflets.
