Tree safety and management policy

At SettleParadigm we know that trees and green spaces are important for residents and local communities.

This draft policy explains how we will look after trees in shared areas and places that everyone can use. Trees and green spaces make neighbourhoods nicer places to live, help people feel better, and can provide shade during very hot weather.

We're sharing the policy at this early stage so residents can help shape it. Your feedback will help us understand whether the draft policy is easy to understand, fair, and helps keep our neighbourhoods safe, green and well cared for.

The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete and is open for feedback until 21 August 2026.

  • Policy statement 

    Trees and green spaces are important amenities for residents and the wider environment.  Access to well maintained green spaces promotes wellbeing and contributes locally to mitigating the effects of extreme heat.  We are committed to looking after the trees in communal areas and areas accessible to the public and regularly checking their condition.

    We manage the condition of trees in communal spaces or spaces that are accessible to the public so that they are safe.

    Residents are responsible for trees in the gardens of the properties that they live in and must keep them in a safe condition as a requirement of their tenancy or shared ownership lease.
