A council owns an area of ancient woodland on the edge of a town. The woodland contains 40 species of tree and shrub and is the habitat of several rare species of bird. The council needs 500 new homes and plans to build them on half of the woodland. Local people disagree about the plan.
Evaluate the council's plan.
