I may be wrong but I believe the FC are in place to make sure woodland is productive-perhaps the word 'sustainable' could be used.
I abhor that anyone is able to sell ancient woodland especially were the end point is destruction!
Developers constantly add to any fury about development of such areas by naming the streets after the habitats(or species) they destroyed i.e.
Badger sett, Meadow walk. Heres hoping that we dont see another 'Woodland Way' or similar. Best of luck and thank you.
