Accreditation for rhi supply

[andy cobb]

We'll be doing some larch and sp 2nd thinnings next year and I have a customer within 5 miles who would like to buy the timber for his commercial rhi plant (he gets a contractor to chip at his premises). I was wondering if I needed anything in place to be able to supply him or is it easier for him to register as self supplying. It will only be about 80 ton per year so don't really want to have to be part of an expensive registration system.

Are felling licenses and restocking plans sufficient or is it a bureaucracy minefield?

Cheers - Andy.

Yes

That's surprisingly simple then, i was expecting to have to  supply my mothers, aunties, next door neighbour's budgerigars shoe size, along with what everybody on site has eaten for the last month and if any swearing or meat products were consumed near the timber.

To become a self supplier I produce purchase orders from a council.

If he's already chipping on site he's already a self supplier I would think. He'll just need felling licence numbers etc for his records incase of ofgem audit.
