Representation Summary:
Natural England notes that MIN 202 is adjacent to Mileplain Plantation, a Plantation on Ancient Woodland Site (PAWS) and welcomes the requirement for an Arboricultural Impact Assessment in the Specific Site Allocation Policy MIN 202. We would recommend reference to standing advice [https://www.gov.uk/guidance/protected-species-how-to-review-planning-applications] for ancient woodland and ancient and veteran trees, which has been produced by Natural England and the Forestry Commission for further guidance when making decisions that affect ancient woodland, ancient trees or veteran trees.
