scout note
Section 9.31: removing mature trees (combined caliper 500mm+) needs a development permit; removed deciduous trees must be replaced 1:1 or 2:1 by caliper and coniferous by height, replanted within a year. Aims to protect tree canopy and shoreline stabilization; dead/hazardous tree removal is exempt.
