The purpose of this group will be to enable those directly involved in the delivery of Better Woodlands for Wales (BWW) to identify bottlenecks and technical problems and to identify solutions to resolve them.
Solutions may range from developing guidance, identifying training needs or specifying improvements to IT systems. Members of the group may be tasked to undertake work to resolve problems.
The Group will deal with things that impact on key measures of performance within BWW such as processing times, the number of Foundation and Management Plans approved or withdrawn, map digitisation and the provision of information from information sources.
Changes to the grant structure and rates will be outside the remit of the group.
The Technical Group is made up of Management Planners and Forestry Commission Wales staff and membership to the Group is to be changed on a yearly basis.
