1.       cleared with government grant.  CPR legally required to clear it at CPR’S cost.  Ongoing with PD managing
2.       has not been cleared yet.  Boundary vague and not much scrub to clear
3.       a and b are uncleared fall within the windfarm Habitat Management Plan.
4.       E Peatbanks in HMP and relatively clear; will become a problem if 5 is not addressed, leads to discussion with Tilhill.
