That's a result, I presume he'll be prosecuted if he doesn't do it?
Does anyone know what he was planning to do there? I wondered if he wanted to make it into a caravan/traveller site.

No idea, but he was definitely on a mission }hairout{

It will be interesting to see how long the replanting order takes to enforce (if ever)

This is the latest Willow.

We shall see. To be honest, not holding my breath! No reinstatement has begun, and it will take him quite some time. I suspect that he will ignore it as seems to be his way }hairout{

If there's one sound I absolutely hate its that of a chainsaw because it usually indicates trees being felled.. I know that sometimes its necessary, but it just sends shivers up my spine {cry}

This 'man' has caused damage he simple can not put right. He cant just 'replant' an ancient woodland. I hope he's forced to replant some good decent sized native trees though - the council or whoever should absolutely make sure this happens, if for no other reason than to make other idiots think before doing this sort of damage! }hairout{ {mr.angry}

The trees he felled were pine and actually not that old. Interestingly the ancient woodland status refers to the soil and the years and years of nutrients, micro biology etc that have built up. He has smothered a considerable amount of it in hardcore, which now has to be removed. }hairout{

Thanks for the up-date Helen.

Maybe, if funds are there, could be a possibility for one of the wildlife Trusts to take it over.
If trees have been felled, could be an opportunity to re-design the land management and attract certain birds.

They did this just south of Ashford, managed the land to attract Nightingales, about 50 of them are now visiting there every Spring.
Wonderful song.

Please keep us posted, so important isn't it.

Just found out that the sign is in the verge, so it's anyone's guess who took it down :?
The land is up for auction in September with a London firm.

Richard, because of the amount of hardcore he dumped there when he felled the trees, it's going to be a massive restoration job. I can't see that funds would be available from organisations, and anyway, surely it will legally still be his responsibility to put things right?
