Consultation on compensatory tree planting sites begins

RESIDENTS are being asked have their say on tree planting sites identified in Moray.

Buckie, Dufftown, Elgin, Fogwatt, Forres and Lossiemouth all have sites identified for compensatory tree planting – required when a planning application involves the felling of woodland. Suggestions for additional or alternative sites are also welcome.

Comments can be made online at moray.maps.arcgis.com/apps/GeoForm/index.html?appid=2ac3a492e0ce44f488c7875d95abea24. After the consultation ends of 29 November, comments will be considered and a final list of sites will be presented to Moray Council’s Planning & Regulatory Services Committee for approval.

Famous for its colony of dolphins, fabulous beaches and more malt whisky distilleries than any where else in Scotland, Moray is a thriving area and a great place to live. Nestling between Aberdeenshire and the Highlands, Moray stretches from Tomintoul in the south to the shores of the Moray Firth, from Keith in the east to Brodie Castle in the west.
