Bron Afon is committed to a proactive and sustainable management and care for trees within our ownership, and we will appropriately discharge our legal obligations associated to trees within the ownership and care of others (including that subject to a tenancy agreement or contract).
We have applied the Well-being Goals identified under the Well-being of Future Generation Act 2015 as our guiding principle, with primary focus on making sure our trees are managed to support a healthy environment and communities in a long term.
Bron Afon will implement and deliver the Policy through a sound and auditable risk management and will be in line with the approach adopted by TCBC to ensure consistency and to maximise benefits for the landscape and communities within Torfaen.
This Tree Management Policy sets Bron Afon’s approach to the assessment and management of trees on Bron Afon owned land and it approach to ensure legal compliance regarding management of trees on land owned by others under a tenancy agreement. It does not describe operational practices involved in practical arboriculture.
