This amendment does as the description says: it would require that the Secretary of State publishes guidance for developers, local authorities and local planning authorities on the planting of trees and other greenery on the roads of new developments. While the Highways Act describes what a highway is, for the purposes of this discussion, and in my general view of how this amendment could work, it would be light-touch and hands-off. The crucial thing here is that guidance is issued, but it is those on the ground who would actually decide how to proceed or not.
