An application to afforest in the area identified by the Deputy was approved, subject to conditions, by my Department on 28 September 2015. Since then a number of objections have been received from third parties and a review of the decision is currently underway. As soon as this review is completed, the persons concerned and the applicant will be notified of the outcome.
