This document contains a supporting statement for the installation of forest tracks at Croftcarnoch Forest Plantation on the Balavil Estate. The estate wants to upgrade its network of tracks to help with land management, including thinning woodlands, planting native trees, and increasing deer management. Permission was previously granted for similar work, and this new project involves repairing and improving about 1.7km of track. The construction will follow guidelines to protect the environment, using on-site materials and proper drainage. The estate appreciates that any 'wash out' or track erosions through vehicle and weather damage will be continually taken care of as part of the ongoing maintenances.
