The recommendations are made on the basis that:
· This honours the commitment made by the Council, Amey and STAG in the Joint Position Statement to develop an exemplary new street tree strategy for Sheffield.
· This honours the commitment that further consultation with key stakeholder groups and with the public would be part of the work to develop the new street tree strategy.
· Along with other city and Council strategies that are already in place, the street tree strategy will be instrumental in helping to develop and shape guidance and policies that determine the future of the city in a range of areas including climate emergency; development of the city centre, district centres and local neighbourhoods; and the health and wellbeing of residents. |
|
|
11.4 |
Alternatives Considered and Rejected |
|
