Draft Black Country Plan
Representation ID: 15300
Received: 11/10/2021
Respondent: Natural England
Representation Summary:
Policy ENV4 – Provision, retention and protection of trees, woodlands and hedgerows
We welcome the inclusion of this policy within the plan.
We would suggest that you split paragraph 1 and put the text specifically about ancient woodland as a separate paragraph.
We would advise you to expand on the buffers, explaining that the size of the buffer will depend on the type of the development proposed and the type of the woodland/tree.
