Description

ANCIENT WOODLAND WITH POTENTIAL FOR A VARIETY OF USES.
A rare opportunity to acquire approximately 14 acres of ancient woodland adjoining residential property located on the north east outskirts of Maltby. The woodland features a mature oak and ash upper canopy with occasional silver birch. An under canopy of frequent young wych elm, ash and occasional wild cherry is present throughout much of the wood, with a third layer comprising abundant hazel coppice stools, with occasional hawthorn and the invasive cherry laurel. The ground flora is species rich, featuring an abundance and diverse mix of ancient woodland indicators (AWI), indicative of calcareous conditions.

Location

Maltby is located to the east of Rotherham, roughly equal distance between junction 1 of the M18 and the popular market town of Tickhill. The woodland lies on the north east fringes of Maltby, less than a mile from the town centre, with access from a number of points off the B6427 Grange Lane.

Approx Site Area

Approximately 14 Acres.

Planning

We consider the woodland to be suitable for a variety of uses including but not limited to woodland management activities and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) offsetting. However, redevelopment of the woodland is unlikely. For any pre-application advice, interested parties should consult directly with the Local Planning Authority: Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, Riverside House, Main Street, Rotherham, S60 1QY. Telephone: 01709 382121. Further enquiries should also be made with Forestry England as to the suitability of the proposed use for the woodland.
