Muirburn
6.1 It should be noted that there is no obligation
to make muirburn. The conditions simply state that if the
applicant wishes to make muirburn, he should do so in
accordance with the approved guide. The Muirburn Code
should be followed where this is the method chosen to
create blocks of heather at different growth stages.
Breaches of the Muirburn Code which could be picked up at a
compliance check include: burning within recommended
fire-free areas, individual fire patches significantly over
50 metres in width, total area burnt and intensity of
burn.
