Implementation and maintenance of landscaping
8.—(1) All landscaping works shall be carried out in accordance with the detailed written landscaping scheme approved under requirement 7 and to the specified standard.
(2) Any tree or shrub planted as part of the approved detailed landscaping scheme that, within a period of five years after planting, is removed, dies or becomes, in the opinion of the relevant planning authority, seriously damaged or diseased, shall be replaced in the first available planting season with a specimen of the same species and size as that originally planted, unless otherwise approved by the relevant planning authority.
(3) If any boundary shrub or vegetation is the subject of localised clearance for the purpose of construction of the authorised development, replacement planting will be undertaken to replace the extent of vegetation lost using locally occurring species to retain the existing vegetation pattern, unless otherwise approved by the relevant planning authority.
