Hi Paul.

 

You will certainly need a felling license if you want to do it in one hit. You can only fell 5 cubic mtrs per quarter without a license.

 

Sawmills will buy Norway Spruce. Have you got any in the region?

The info from FC says they'll aim to issue within 10 weeks. 

 

There will probably be a restock condition attached to the licence, that might put another spanner in the works depending on why you want to clear the trees.

 

As far as marketing the timber, see if you can track down a local forestry contractor, they'll probably know who might be interested.  Where are you?

Yeah, fair comment.  I think the FC will emphasise the "aim" part of their statement.
