The City of Langford controls the cutting of trees and the removal of vegetation in designated environmentally sensitive and hazardous Development Permit areas contained within Langford’s Official Community Plan.
The City of Langford does offer some exemptions from this requirement, particularly where a tree is dead, diseased and dying, or a hazard to human safety or property. In most cases the City will require a report from a certified arborist before providing a letter of specific exemption from the requirements of a Development Permit. In addition, the City may require a report prepared by a Registered Professional Biologist before issuing a Development Permit in areas of environmental sensitivity (e.g.: areas around lakes and streams, identified sensitive ecosystems, and areas of potential wildlife habitat and biodiversity).
