 “All WSUD basins proposed are to be fully planted out with shrubs (to screen retaining walls) and
 grasses between 6- 8/sqm (1-1.5m tall) to ensure an integrated landscape solution with the front entry
 buffer landscaping. Tubular balustrades have been provided for additional safety to vehicle car park
