There are two categories of ancient woodland: Ancient semi-natural woods: Woods that have developed naturally. Plantations on ancient woodland sites: Woods that have been felled and replanted with conifer or broadleaved trees that retain ancient woodland features.Development resulting in the loss or deterioration of ancient woodland should be refused, unless there are wholly exceptional reasons and a suitable compensation strategy exists.
