Thank you for your letter regarding your consultation on a revised Statement of Community Involvement which was forwarded to our Area team by National office.

If possible, we would like to be updated on any new policies, local plans or planning applications which are within 500m of an Ancient Woodland or are likely to affect any other woodland please.

As a Non-Ministerial Government Department, the Forestry Commission provide no opinion supporting or objecting to applications. Rather we provide advice on the potential impact that any proposed development or plan could have on trees and woodland including ancient woodland.

Our Area Team mailbox for consultations is: eandem@forestrycommission.gov.uk
