If you are a land leveloper and developing land in Surrey, tree protection requirements must be resolved before the City can issue your building permits to make sure:
Trees are not damaged during construction and demolition activities
Trees are not removed unnecessarily
Removed trees are replaced
After you have submitted an application for land development, your area planner will keep you informed of any tree and landscape related requirements associated with your development.
The requirements may include any or all of the following items, as well as some that are not listed, depending on your arborist report, site conditions, and special directions from Area Planning:
Arborist Report
Landscaping Plan
