Landscape Strategy The landscape strategy and mitigation planting aims to:

- To successfully accommodate the proposed development into the wider enviroment, whilst responding to the character of the local area and visually screening the proposed built-form from the adjacent properties. - Strengthening vegetation cover throughout the industrial areas of Burnley, in a way that is sympathetic to ecology of surrounding landscape. - Select planting types that respond to site conditions. - Providing a range of habitat types across the site. - Screen views through woodland, scattered planting, hedgerow planting, shrub layers and retention of existing trees, softening the potential negative visual effects when seen from PRoWs western and southern of the site, and from residential properties northern and eastern of the site. Woodland Planted to the North Trees to the north and north east of the site will be planted at a closer density to help screen views seen from the Indicative Plant Species List residential properties next to the north of Any subsequent detailed planting scheme will be developed with reference to the the site. principles set out in the following statement and planting lists.
