Data protection um the there

366
00:12:43,876 --> 00:12:44,977
was something else I was going

367
00:12:44,977 --> 00:12:45,645
to say about the conservation

368
00:12:45,645 --> 00:12:46,512
restrictions but the

369
00:12:46,512 --> 00:12:47,980
conservation purpose of the

370
00:12:47,980 --> 00:12:49,448
conservation restriction that

371
00:12:49,448 --> 00:12:51,517
basically document the existing

372
00:12:51,517 --> 00:12:53,619
conditions and to say that uh

373
00:12:53,619 --> 00:12:55,521
outlined what is and isn't

374
00:12:55,521 --> 00:12:57,921
permissible um, specifically on

375
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,526
those sites a lot of it is um

376
00:13:00,526 --> 00:13:02,595
is related to the conservation

377
00:13:02,595 --> 00:13:05,640
of property, uh of the land for

378
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:06,332
for natural purposes for dale

379
00:13:06,332 --> 00:13:07,300
street, for the sister mary

380
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:08,401
veronica it's a little bit

381
00:13:08,401 --> 00:13:10,690
different because that site is

382
00:13:10,690 --> 00:13:11,337
not strictly a passive open

383
00:13:11,337 --> 00:13:13,737
space of woodland area.

384
00:13:13,772 --> 00:13:16,172
So documenting the community

385
