Check if you need a felling licence (opens in new tab)

If you are applying for planning permission on your land or planning to change the use of your land, please contact us (opens in new tab) before applying for a felling licence.

If you're not planning to restock your site will need to submit your an Environmental Impact Assessment (opens in new tab) decision letter before applying for a felling licence. 

You can also provide evidence of your discussion with the Regulatory Woodland Officer. The Regulatory Woodland Officer must agree to the area being unplanted.
