Licences and Permissions
Services
​Gaining felling permission from the Forestry Commission (FC) to undertake felling will depend on the scale of the work required. We can submit a felling licence application and explain the felling and any restocking requirements in order to gain permission.
​
Further permissions may be required if any designations exist on the land. We are experiences in gaining the specific permissions to undertake works from the association regulatory government bodies. Examples include:
​
-
SSSI permissions - Supplementary Notice of Operations (Natural England)
-
Scheduled Monument & Historic Parks and Gardens (Historic England)
-
Tree Preservation Orders & Conservation Area (Local Authority Tree Officers)
