    Clause 50. Protection of Woodlands. Owners should be consulted before these areas are settled. Any woodland to be scheduled should be land with timber or coppice; and should be large enough for forestry operations to be practicable— probably not less than 5 acres. It will be noted that where an area of woodland is specified for protection, the owner is not precluded from felling the trees or coppice; he is only obliged to undertake such replanting as is in accordance with the practice of good forestry. Any question whether replanting under Sub-clause (2) is or would be in accordance with the practice of good forestry is, on the application of either party, to be determined by the Forestry Commissioners, under Section 46 (3) of the Act. Clause 51. Maintenance of private gardens, etc. The use zones to be protected under this Clause should ordinarily be residential, and, possibly, intermediate and undetermined zones. The words in [ ] are required only if the Scheme includes land temporarily restricted against general development which is not included in a use zone. Clause 52. Advertisements. See Section 47 of the Act. Not all use zones will need protection, and in some cases it may not be necessary to protect the whole of a particular use zone. The wordsin[ J] are required only if the Scheme includes land temporarily restricted against general development which is not included in a use zone. By Clause 75 the operation of the byelaws which are similar to or inconsistent with any of the provisions of the Scheme is suspended, and the inclusion of this Clause will therefore affect byelaws under the Advertisement Regulation Acts, 1907 and 1925. Suspension by the Scheme is, however, limited to ‘“‘ similar ” or “ inconsistent ” byelaws, and as there might be some dispute about the precise effect of this, administration will be facilitated if they are repealed by an amending byelaw (which the Home Office are prepared to confirm) in so far as they extend to an area in respect of which provision in regard to advertisements is also made under the Scheme.
