Ancient woodland is greatly at risk from ammonia pollution. We recommend therefore adding specific requirements that additional screening will be required of all ammonia-emitting developments, such as intensive livestock units, within 5km of an ancient woodland site, with a detailed ‘Ancient Woodland Nitrogen Impact Assessment’ of the ancient woodland of concern. This will need to demonstrate that there will be no deterioration or impacts as a result of the contributions from this development.
