Justification For Change Request​This site is a Peaty Podzol with close proximity to the sea.  Douglas fir is unsuited to heavy soils, where it exhibits very coarse growth and becomes very unstable due to restricted rooting. It is also unsuited to exposed sites, alkaline soils, peaty soils, indurated and infertile soils, and it will not grow satisfactorily in competition
with heather.
