Most importantly - are they in a wood? If its school grounds they shouldn't need a license, regardless of size. If they form part of a wood then they might depending on size.

 

I don't understand that. The exemption is for "orchard, garden, churchyard or public open space". How is school grounds exempt?

Garden / public open space should cover school grounds. This would certainly have been my understanding when I worked for the FC in grants and licenses. I could be wrong though, but if they're open grown I don't think the FC would be interested.

I would say no , if the tree officer was asked he would claim that it is within domestic curtilage and that it was a LA issue and not FC , secondly if the works are based on Arboricultural advice and are being removed as such then no permission is needed from the FC , if the trees are classed as dangerous the are also exempt .

I see, a matter of common practice rather than what the legislation says.
