Hello & advice please on larch wood

It will become infected , be under no illusion. If you can get a felling licence for a clear fell before the site gets a phn then clear it, re stock and start again.

 

Depending on the outcome of tcd's recommendations I think you'd get between £15-25t standing.

Too true, deck it while it's clean.

 

£15-25* (A TONNE!!!) standing, blankety blank, never paid that much, £9/meter (£7.50/t) max. Cutter is going to want £15 for mechanised, more for hand cut so add that* standing price and roadside value of average £25/m3 and it doesn't add up. Forget thinking you'll get more than £25/metre, you might or you might not, but reckoning on more is a recipe for disaster.

Possibly a regional thing. The last stand of larch/df standing I heard the for prices went for £19t. If you're in a region where it's being hammered I guess it would be a pretty crappy market.

Certainly being hammered here!

 

So it's got a license on it already to clear 25%. What's the likelihood of being granted a clear fell license for it? How long would that take to get... I'd have thought they'd be keen for me to fell the lot asap. But from research this might not be the case?

 

Thanks for all the input. I'm not being lazy honest. I appreciate all these answers I could find out from phoning round and firing off emails - just time is against me and there's so much knowledge here.

I'm not sure how NRW works. I'd just call your woodland officer and get them out and discuss what you want to do. I'd be confident of getting the felling license as it will need to be felled eventually. They will also be able to inform you of any grants available for management and the following establishment works.
