Scots Pine 40%<br />

Sweet Chestnut 20%<br />

Pedunculate Oak 5%<br />

Birch 20%<br />

Field Maple 10%<br />

Holly 5%<br />

I have suggested an increase in the sweet chestnut and lowered the oak as oak find it very difficult<br />

to establish and then compete in these light soil type areas (Paines plantation for example). Field<br />

maple are a good shrub/low tree species and are drought resistant.<br />

Woodland Edge Planting Mix<br />

Scots Pine 10%<br />

Gorse 20%<br />

Broom 20%<br />

Birch 20%<br />

Holly 10%<br />

Hawthorn 10%<br />

Field Maple 10%<br />

I have added broom to gorse as the two heathland type woody shrubs (blackthorn never<br />

establishes) and think that oak will struggle and we can let other plants colonise over time. I think<br />

the woodland edge should be thin, sparse, pine and birch with heathland species so that it will<br />

have a sense of place within the new surrounding landscape.<br />

I hope that helps. If you are still in doubt about the reptile area please get back to me.<br />
