Galloway Township requires a tree removal and protection permit for tree removal tied to subdivisions and site plans, applied for through the Zoning Officer, plus a general permit for cutting any tree except § 233-52E exemptions. Pinelands Area standards also apply.
Under Chapter 233, all applications for major subdivision, minor subdivision, or any site plan requiring tree removal (unless exempt) must include an application for a tree removal and protection permit, made to the Zoning Officer for referral to the approving agency. Trees planted or preserved as part of an approved landscape or street-tree plan cannot be removed except as directed under § 233-52E(6), (7) and (9). Individual lots not subject to a development application may be cleared beyond ordinary limits only within the exemption framework. Because most of Galloway lies in the Pinelands, Article X standards (§§ 233-67 to 233-84) add clearing and vegetation limits.
Removing protected or plan-required trees, or clearing tied to a development without the permit, is a zoning/land-management violation enforced by the Zoning Officer, with municipal-court penalties and possible replanting requirements.
