2 notes

• Kieran Wint (04 September 2024)

  As per some research we did, summarised in this blog on an analysis of local plans and local area requirements, we're confident that this consideration acts as an INPUT to the process of creating a local plan.

• Kieran Wint (03 September 2024)

  As per the data published for Ancient woodland by Natural England on data.gov.uk, the metadata suggests that the data is updated monthly.
