Making Representations: In writing to the Executive Director:

Financial Impact: There is no financial impact to Bracknell Forest Council. The proposal is to use Section 106 funding reserved for enhancements to biodiversity (natural open space facilities) at Ennerdale Playing Field. The funding would cover 30 years of maintenance by BTC for the meadow and watering (labour and machinery costs) for first 5 years until newly planted trees are established.
