Felling Licence Exemptions and TPO'S

[TRADITIONAL LOGGERS]

Is it still correct one can fell up to five cubic metres in a calender quarter in the following sizes even when the site has a TPO without needing a FC felling licence?

 

Diameters at 1.3M from ground levels:-

8cm Individual Stems

10cm Thinnings

15cm Coppice

 

Purpose is to improve woodland on a clean Brownfield Site.

 

Thanks

Yes, those exemptions still apply, although you can only sell 2cu out of the 5.

 

You'll either need a TPO permission to carry out the work, or an FC approved management plan, which will take care of this for you. I guess you haven't got a management plan as this would come with a felling license.

As 'crobinson' points out, the fact the "less than 5m3" gives you an exemption from the felling licence requirement it doesn't give a TPO exemption...as far as I'm aware, so you'll still need to apply to the LPA to undertake the works.

 

Tread carefully...

You'd need to apply to the LPA with the TPO form, still.
