Mr. Barry Delany:

As part of the approval for the native tree area scheme, because people can plant without a licence, they only go through scheme approval. In effect, it is red and green. They put in their submissions. There are various layers in terms of peat, hen harrier, freshwater pearl mussel and high nature value farmland. On that basis we can issue the approval. It is possible to plant native species on peat. It just has to come through an application for a forest type-1 licence
