"The Ecosystem Policy Team are content with the proposals for native hedge and tree planting, using the planting list provided in the Landscape Details Drawing (Drawing No. 231751 13), though we recommend that Rowan Sorbus aucuparia trees are planted in order to provide feeding waxwing, who are regularly visitors to the Ramsey Bakery grounds, with additionally sources of food.

However, reference is made in the document to Planning Circular 1/93 Landscape Guidance Notes. This guidance note contains non-native shrub species including the invasive plant species cotoneaster and griselinia which are listed on Schedule 8 of the Wildlife Act 1990, and which should not be planted in this location." 11.12.2024
