Trees in Adur and The Mannings, Surry Street, Shoreham

The report below was prepared in June 2022 at the request of the Executive Member for Regeneration, Cllr Neocleous, following the felling of conifer trees, during redevelopment of The Mannings, Surry Street, Shoreham. It describes subsequent changes made to the planning process in Adur so that future similar proposals can receive greater scrutiny by Councillors before determination, as well as the provision of additional tree-related information for development sites.
