Measuring timber

[hamdogg]

Hi all, what's the best way to measure stood timber, but garden trees rather than woodland, as I've quoted for a large job as the client is putting a new drive in but now she wants more trees felled! I'm just worrying about the felling licence implications now!

I may be wrong but if they are in a garden then you don't need a felling lisence you can cut as much timber as you like

We felled about 2 artic loads In this garden

I don't think that's right mate..... felling trees no matter what comes under the rule, 5 ton per quarter year.

 

you can get round this and fell 10 ton by saying one quarter ended and another started during the job!

 

double check to save a lot of hassle!

I pretty sure if the land is registered as a garden and not agricultural then you don't but I'm sure someone can give us an answer,

I was also under the impression that gardens are exempt from forestry regulations.

[Brushcutter]

Forestry Act 1967 as amended gives exemption for: Felling fruit trees, or trees growing in a garden, orchard, churchyard or designated

public open space (eg. under the Commons Act 1899).

 

Always worth a measure though just for your own records.

What do they class a designated open space?
