Description:
=======================================
This dataset applies to Felling Licence Application recieved by the Forestry Commission after 1st January 2012 and administered using Forestry Commission Scotland's Case Management System.
=======================================
Anyone wishing to fell trees must ensure that a licence or permission under a grant scheme has been issued by the Forestry Commission before any felling is carried out or that one of the exceptions apply.
You normally need to get permission from the Forestry Commission to fell growing trees. This is usually given in a Felling Licence or an approval under a grant scheme. In certain circumstances you may also need special permission from another organisation for any proposed felling. This sometimes applies even if you do not need a Felling Licence.
Everyone involved in the felling of trees, whether doing the work or by engaging others, eg. the owner, agent, timber merchant or contractor, must ensure that a licence or approval under a grant scheme has been issued before any felling is carried out or that one of the exceptions apply. They must also ensure that the work is carried out in accordance with the terms of a Forestry Commission permission. If there is no licence or other valid permission, or if the wrong trees are felled, anyone involved can be prosecuted.
Do not begin felling until the Forestry Commission have issued a licence or other permission. Any felling carried out without either a licence or other permission is an offence, unless it is covered by an exception.
Full details are available in the Forestry Commission's booklet 'Tree Felling - Getting Permission'.

Felling Licence Applications (2012 onwards)
dataset
Information is mapped during the licence approval process from maps supplied by the applicant (normally based on Ordnance Survey maps from 1:2,500 to 1:10,000)
The digitised data is captured against a combination of large scale datasets, primarily Ordnance Survey MasterMap but also aerial photography, Scottish Government Land Parcels (LPIS) and other reference datasets.
