DESCRIPTION
The 12.57 acre block of land comprises a traditional mature broadleaved woodland and a separate broadleaved plantation, established in 2000 under the Woodland Grant Scheme, with a 3.39 acre paddock dividing the two. The plantation has in the past been well maintained, and would benefit from some routine thinning and general management. The grass ley in the paddock is permanent pasture, and management records show that previous applications of chemical and organic fertilisers have kept the grassland productive. Access is off Fire Beacon Lane and along the Council owned track (outlined green on the Land Plan). The boundaries consist of traditional Devon banked-hedges with mature trees and some stock fencing.
