Here is the proposed Autumn planting of trees in Halesworth town. Sites surveyed by Lisa Simmonds and Rachel Kellett August 2026. Criterion: to link up existing plantations, to replace dead trees, to add to the tree cover, shelter and amenity of housing estates. Visible services were surveyed, ground based and sky based (eg electric/telephone wires)
Estimated costs
Root directors from SCC RD640A – Small Modular Root Director With Ribs455mm high with 575mm x 575mm clear opening. = £120.27 each excl VAT. Root Management | Root Barrier | Root Directors | GreenBlue Urban
Planting by SCC =
Total per tree: £350?
Budget therefore £350 x 20= £7,000 – I’d say unlikely. Suggest we go for 10 a year. £3500. Which 10? Suggest Norwich and Landsbury (the others are replacements)
Norwich Road
This is the main lorry route and therefore presents challenges from a planning perspective re services and necessary clear view, however where proposed, between Zemke way and Fairview, there is a generous grass verge, clear view and and these oaks will join up a group of already well established and healthy oaks to the north and south

2. Roman Way
To complete the Rowan planting along both sides, but mainly to the east. Suggest a continuation of Rowan with an addition of Walnut to the north. Generous verges.
