  2. Chapter 8 – Natural Heritage, Green Infrastructure and Biodiversity Louth County Development Plan 2021-2027 8-28 8.11.2 Trees and Woodlands of Special Amenity Value Having regard to the important role that trees and woodlands fulfil, the Council has identified and recorded trees and groups of trees considered to be of Special Amenity Value within the County. As such, and in recognition of the value of the trees, their conservation as part of any grant of planning permission will be required. Any development permitted by the local authority which, in exceptional circumstances, permits the removal of trees or groups of trees shall contain a planning condition requiring the planting of replacement native, semi-mature trees at a ratio of ten new trees per single tree removed in the County and at a ratio of five new trees per single tree removed in Drogheda and Dundalk. On smaller, more constrained sites where there is limited space/opportunities for planting new trees, consideration may be given to reducing the ratio of trees to be planted on an application site if an alternative location for the shortfall of trees to be planted is identified and the consent of the landowner, on whose lands the trees are to be planted, is provided as part of a planning application. The Trees and Woodlands of Special Amenity Value within Drogheda, Dundalk, Ardee and the County have been identified in Tables 8.7, 8.8, 8.9 and 8.10 and illustrated on Maps 8.11, 8.12, 8.13 and 8.14 below. Tree surveys, for both Drogheda and Dundalk along with Guidelines for Tree Protection are detailed in Appendix 5 and Appendix 6 respectively, Volume 3.
