Informative B: As Beacon Gate is within a railsides Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC), where possible please retain timber lying on site to create habitat wood piles, bury logs vertically in the ground 'Giants Causeway style' for stag beetle habitat, and lay cut branches between stakes as a 'dead hedge' for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative C: Please consider replacing the 18m felled Poplar (G6) with a native tree such as small leaved lime, sessile oak, sycamore, wild cherry, beech, field maple, whitebeam, wild service tree (Sorbus torminalis), hornbeam, alder, to maintain the urban forest canopy.
