Paragraph 13.13 refers to the Rother's biomass resource (woodland). Paragraph 17.15 advises that Rother has the highest percentage of ancient woodland cover in the South East (15.5%).
However, there is nothing within the policy to encourage the use of this natural resource that is not only sustainable but zero carbon. This would also support policy EN1 that seeks to enhance the district's landscape and landscape features ((vi) refers to ancient woodland); and policy EN5 that seeks to support opportunities to manage and restore habitats. There would also be benefits for rural employment.
