It's all in the silviculture...

It doesn't matter how you would describe yourself but as somone who falls trees as well as mills them your experience is hard won. Check the Edinburgh napier wood science blog. Some of your opinion will be validated. Some will not.

Lot of what you are saying is wrong or much more nuanced. FC wind maps show Scotland generally more windy than southern UK. Just because you had a nice stand in Moray doesn't mean West Country worse. Read the what the wood scientist says about speed of growth in relation to strength, which I assume you are using as the measure of "quality"? Yes wind creates tension and yes the continent is generally less windy but its a bit more complex

"So, on to the most problematic thing that is said about home grown timber – especially our spruce: “It grows too fast, making it too low density, and unsuitable for construction”. This, very persistent, myth is a significant barrier to getting more home grown timber in construction, since it leads to perfectly suitable timber being rejected, and habitual over-specification. In reality, ring width, tree growth rate, density and strength are only loosely related. And because people repeat this myth a lot, we have addressed it several times before on this blog" for more info see Edinburgh Napier Centre for Wood Science and their blog

do you need a chipper to manage a wood?

"the use of buildings and associated land for purposes ancillary to forestry (timber drying and storage, processing, sawmills, and so on) is definitely included within the forestry use as long as the timber involved arises on the same unit" Mynors in section on GDO and permitted development
