What aspects should be evaluated in relation to this document?

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Evaluate Tree Health Monitoring:

Ensure that the document includes comprehensive guidelines for regularly monitoring the health of trees within Root Protection Areas (RPAs) during construction. This is crucial for early detection of stress or damage to trees.

DESIGN AND APPEARANCE

Assess Integration of Monitoring Practices:

Check how the proposed monitoring practices will be integrated into the construction process without negatively impacting the design and appearance of the site.

RESIDENTIAL AMENITY

Review Impact on Residents:

Consider how the monitoring activities will affect the residents, especially in terms of noise and access to green spaces. Ensure that the practices do not disrupt the community unnecessarily.
