The document discusses a 2011 application for a forestry track and woodland operations on a 6 hectare site in Oldpark Wood and Ten Acre Shaw. The proposed forestry track would provide access from Gravelly Hill near View Point and lead to the site of a previously refused house planning application. Concerns are raised about the poor sight lines and narrow roads not being suitable for large vehicles and plant, and that felling scrub woodland would remove its downland habitat value rather than provide sustainable woodland.
