Felling Licence Applications

In all but a few particular circumstances, a felling licence is required for tree felling. We can:- 

  • Complete and submit felling licence applications.

  • Consult any statutory bodies or stakeholders as necessary.

  • Produce the necessary compartments schedules and restocking proposals required.

Grant Applications

We can provide advice on the availability and suitability of grants available under the Countryside Stewardship Scheme e.g. woodland planning grant, woodland improvement grant, woodland creation grant and restocking grant where stands have been harvested due to the presence of P. ramorum in larch or ash dieback.

We have experience in preparing and submitting countryside stewardship applications, which includes negotiating the contents of the agreement with the Forestry Commission.

SSSI Consents

Where a woodland is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest or where a SSSI is adjacent, we can negotiate the consents required from Natural England to enable work to go ahead, which takes account of the special and sometimes fragile habitat.
