Field tree

the magic maps website is very useful for checking sssi and national park areas.

Sometimes if the farm is in the ELS or HLS payment scheme they don't like trees removed, but if the oaks are dead don't see any problem.

You also need to ascertain whether any of the trees are used as bat roosts before felling. If in doubt call your local wildlife trust so an expert can come and have a look,

Once it's down and cut up! There will be no bats in it!

could be worth making sure there aren't any endangered species of lichen growing on them

Very responsible attitude!!! You did ask what restrictions there might be, were you just looking to compile a list of laws to circumvent?

I always check tpos and con areas etc! As bats go I'll check it my self as I have done a bat course! But it's a very dangerous tree, it needs felling! The bats would have to be moved by a handler!

The only other things I can think of is National Park or SSSI . If its non of those then .....

 

It does not make any difference if your in a national park or not. Trees in a national park have no more, but just the same protection as any other area.

Farmland is subject to the Forestry Act 1967 so depending on how big the trees are you may need a felling licence. 5 cube isn't much when you are dealing with big trees.

 

Depending on whether a national park can be classed as public open space would determine whether there are additional restrictions. I would think there are tough.
