An application for a General Felling Licence was received from the person named on 27 January 2015. Following an initial inspection of the application by the Department , the application was referred to National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) on 26February 2015 for its observations. NPWS is allowed a 6-week period to respond with its comments; a response is therefore required by 9 April 2015. A decision on this application will be given in a timely manner once a response is received from NPWS.
