Intrusion into soll (other than for piling) within the RPA is, generally not acceptable, and topsoil within it should be retained in situ. However, limited manual excavation within the RPA might be acceptable, Subject to justfication. Such excavation should be undertaken carefully, using hand-held tools and preferably by compressed air soil displacement. NOTE Due to the demands that manual excavation places on a development project, and limitations arising from health and safety considerations, itis not realistic to plan for excavation using hand-held tools where there is @ need for trench shoring or grading the sides of the excavation to a stable angle of repose. 7.2.2 Roots, whilst exposed, should immediately be wrapped or covered to prevent desiccation and to protect them from rapid temperature changes. Any wrapping should be removed prior to backfiling, which should take place as s00n as possible. 7.2.3 Roots smaller than 25 mm diameter may be pruned back, making a clean ccut with a suitable sharp tool (e.g. bypass secateurs or handsaw), except where they occur in clumps. Roots occurring in clumps or of 25 mm diameter and over should be severed only following consultation with an arboriculturist, as such roots might be essential to the tree’s health and stability. 7.2.4 Prior to backfilling, retained roots should be surrounded with topsoil or ‘encompassed sharp sand (builders’ sand should not be used because of its high salt content, which is toxic to tree roots), or other loose inert granular fill, before soil or other suitable material is replaced. This material should be free of contaminants and other foreign objects potentially injurious to tree roots.
