At a suggested scaled of 1:200 or 1:500, a site plan needs to show the precise location of the affected trees in relation to nearby properties, roads and boundaries.

This plan must show:

• The trees that are to be affected by the works, cross- referenced to the application form and descriptions, and tree survey report (if applicable)
• Any tree preservation orders and their respective number
• The position of the nearest buildings, and their names or numbers, and their approximate distance from the trees.
• The named surrounding roads
• Any relevant features on the site, for example, a greenhouse or paths

If there are many trees on the site, the plan must show:

• All trees but only numbering those affected by works
• The approximate distance between the trees and any buildings
• Any relevant features on the site

If it is impossible to identify the individual trees accurately on the plan (for example, because they are part of a woodland or group of trees), please identify their approximate location on the plan and provide details of the how trees are marked on the site (for example, with high-visibility tape, tree tags, paint and so on). Do not mark trees by scarring or cutting into the bark.
