and residential properties over the estate.

Woodland• The majority of the woodland was planted between

2000/2002 under the Woodland Grant Scheme.

Continually managed to a high standard, the new

plantings are accessed by wide woodland rides.

• The planting mix is evenly spread:

• There are small pockets of coniferous planting

interspersed with the plantations but it is a relatively

minor element of the overall mix.

• All of the immature woodland has been thinned over

the winters of 2013/14 in an attempt to reduce the

overall density of ash and therefore reduce the risk

to the woodlands posed by ash dieback disease.

This disease is not present on the Estate.

• Situated to the north of the Estate is an area of mature

woodland known as Compton Wood. This mature

mixed broadleaf woodland is situated on reasonably

steep land but provides excellent amenity and habitat.

• The new planting is over generally level land with the

trees spaced and divided by well-maintained rides.

■ Ash (15%)

■ Sycamore (15%)

■ Oak (15%)

■ Wild Cherry (3%)
