We support this policy and the recognition given to the importance of the contribution trees, forest and woodland provide to our ecosystems. Whilst potentially covered under ‘effects upon the environment’, flood risk management would be a key consideration in this policy. Therefore, for clarity we advise the wording of the policy be amended as follows:
Proposals should consider potential adverse effects upon the environment, flood risk management, cultural heritage, communities, and landscape, and, where appropriate, follow the mitigation hierarchy. It is equally important that tree planting occurs on appropriate sites. Carmarthenshire is recognised for the importance of its marshy grassland habitat. This is not always considered in proposals and should be highlighted upfront. Marshy grassland is important for biodiversity and connectivity. In Carmarthenshire this provides important potential habitat for the protected Marsh Fritillary butterfly which has a stronghold and a nationally important population in the county.
Changes to the policy will be discussed at examination.
