Management developments
A meeting was held on 12 February with Rushcliffe Borough Council to pursue mitigating measures in the light of planning permission for housing surrounding the wood. Our main concerns are that the proposed community park does not extend beyond the west of the wood, control of Section 106 monies to maintain the wood and location of the promised store facilities. At the time of writing we are making arrangements to pursue these and other issues with the developers. We have postponed meeting with Rushcliffe Borough Council and Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust to review progress with the Management Plan and other concerns.
