What are the main concerns and suggestions about Queen Street (issues within Masterplan scope)

Trees Strong recognition of the qualities that trees bring to the street. Impacts are also recognised:Plane Tree roots forming large masses out of the ground, allergies from the seeds and fluff from new leaves as well as some dropping of leaves.Liquidambars – drop branches and berries and are perceived as a problem Support to address new tree species for the street such as evergreens and flowering trees. Need to address maintenance of trees to reduce leaf load and manage pruning

Pavement surface Condition of pavement and type of paving materials to improve surface

Waste Provision of garbage bins and bags for dog waste

Lighting Lighting levels too low and too many fitting types Provide improved lighting levels and fittings and consider under awning and tree lighting

SUMMARY OF TREE RETENTION VALUE

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Trees of High Retention Value

Trees considered worthy of preservation and their retention a priority.

Trees with large canopies where significant pruning is generally not acceptable.

All 36 trees of high retention value are retained in this draft masterplan, including all Plane

Trees.

Trees of Moderate Retention Value

The retention of these trees is desirable, but not essential.

These trees should be retained where possible, however they are less critical for retention.

If these trees are removed, replacement planting should be considered.

33 of 43 trees of moderate retention value are retained in this draft masterplan.

There are 8 new replacement trees proposed in this draft masterplan.

Trees of Low Retention Value

Trees not considered worthy of any special measures to ensure their preservation due

to their current health, condition or suitability. Common issues include vehicle damage,

exposed and decaying roots, overcrowded canopies and trunks with prominent leans.

Trees with no special ecological, heritage or amenity value.

Trees with substantially diminished values due to their short estimated life expectancy.

All 12 trees of low retention value will be removed or replaced in this draft masterplan.
