Thank you for your interest in our proposals for new woodlands at Mickleholme and Newball.

We have now carefully reviewed all the feedback received during the recent consultation on our woodland proposal at Mickleholme. A summary of the responses, along with our replies to the key issues raised, has been compiled into a consultation report. You can view the report by clicking the link below.
