Application for a non-material amendment to planning permission 16/02173/OUTM to amend the generic planning conditions relating to colliery spoil heaps and align them to the enhanced restoration planning consent with the AES-LTD Thoresby Vale and Country Park Habitat Creation and Management Plan, whilst not compromising the stability of the slopes by the rapid removal of non native species which bind the surface of the former colliery tip. To amended Restoration Proposals for the woodland planting mix with an average density of 1100nr plants/hectare. To create wood pasture, woodland and native tree planting in open space as shown on the illustrative landscape and ecology masterplan Drawing No. LDP-20-P102 1501D, 22.10.21 (updated from drg no.ems.2709_10C referred to in condition 14.) It is recommended that the tree planting density should be amended to 25 to 400 per hectare (spacing of 5-20m). This will allow the trees to grow wide crowns with high photosynthetic capacity. Toamend the tree species mix specified within the original restoration planning. The works to remove non-native species commenced in 2020; It is recommended that selective removal of the majority of non-native species within early mature woodlands growing on the sides of the former colliery waste heap will continue to be removed throughout the aftercare period (5 year aftercare period for each phase and a further 5 year period after that) to open up woodland glades and to promote more natural oak and birch woodland as set out in the Thoresby Vale and Country Park Habitat Creation and Management Plan.
