Hi Ben,
No problems at all, I suppose it will depend on how you want to live while down in London. If you want a swanky flat and be out every night then I would say no way. The yard is on the Essex/East London border so you could find a cheap flat/room/bedsit and do it on the cheap. If you have any savings that would help as well. Yes the salary is low but then that is outweighed by what you get in terms of tickets. If they have kept it the same then you would get Cs30, 31, 38, IPAF MEWP and possbily CS39. These tickets will then put you in a good position to get a job when you leave.

Agricultural Land/Woodland to be used as a wood yard
JaySmith replied to JaySmith's topic in General chat
Yeah that sounds like a good idea I will also download the legal pack and see if there is anything hidden in there too! -
Wow that's a great opportunity at an amazing site for the more experienced guys!

Yeah will do I'd already thought of calling the local TO to check the TPO's. It seems weird as it is classed as agri land but there isn't any livestock on there and neither has there been for the 20 years I've lived nearby, it has also been a small wooded area that has been unmanaged and unfenced -
You replacing Tom then David?

Very good opportunity, if anybody is interested and want's to know what it's like then feel free to PM me with any Q's

Reading on the web that seems to be the way that people try and get around the usage aspect. If you've had your land for 50 years then can't really see anybody challenging you on it now, as you say all of this red tape wasn't around then! -

Cheers mate, good advice -
Agricultural Land/Woodland to be used as a wood yard
JaySmith replied to JaySmith's topic in General chat
Ok cheers I see what you mean. As it would be new to me I suppose that's not an option. There aren't any other businesses near by, just a couple of houses down the lane so can't see by using it for wood would upset to many people -

Yep the lane is wide enough to get a truck down and even an artic if needs be. If it has agri usage tagged to it what/how would be the best way of changing the status to production? -

When you say 10+ what do you mean? Yeah agree will try and find a land agent and see what they say. Am going to give the LA a call to see what restrictions there are and if it would be possible for a change of use -
Hi guys, I have found a small piece of land for sale (less than 1 acre) that is not maintained or managed at present and has 'agricultural' usage as the type. The land is overgrown with large amounts of Laurel, brambles, weeds, saplings etc and is not looked after and has a mixture of mature trees and smaller types. The land borders two small lanes and I think has the potiental to make a decent wood yard (store wood, process and sell). My question is does anybody have experience of buying a piece of land like this and using it as a wood yard? Would I need to get permission to process wood on there? I am assuming that I would also need to get permission to fell/thin/manage on the site as well? Any help/guidance/comments appreciated! Cheers

This kind of thing can be difficult for a business to spend time on, with the time and financial pressures making impatience come to the fore, hence why I recommended the college route. Good point Andy, I suppose that's one of the benefits of working for an LA we don't need to make x amount of ££ per day so to speak (although we do have targets) so I get plenty of time to practice climbing, felling, using all the big toys etc. I can see why the apprenticeship for some businesses may not work that well if they are on tight deadlines and contracts etc.
