Informative B: as discussed in previous joint meetings about the wall between Council, Church and Hospital, should it be established there is no alternative to repair the wall other than by crown reduction or felling T24,T25, a tree & shrub replanting plan is to be produced to mitigate loss of amenity. Informative C: huge thank you for sensitive management of trees throughout the hospital estate to retain a treed setting for staff, patients and visitors for amenity, wildlife, wellbeing and health especially for shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change and to improve air quality beside the busy A21. Informative D: new tree planting across the hospital estate is encouraged to maintain long-term public realm amenity, wildlife habitat, health & wellbeing, urban forest canopy cover to reduce air pollution and mitigate climate change. Informative E: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
