The plantation adjacent to the land of the person in question was established in 1993. At that time a "set back' distance of 30 meters from any dwelling house was applicable for plantations grant aided by the forest service of my Department. As there were no breaches of the environmental guidelines relating to the grant aiding of the plantation, I regret I cannot compel the plantation owner to remove trees. This is a matter for resolution between the plantation owner and the person concerned. The removal of trees would require the granting of a felling licence by the forest service.
