Why buy woodland in County Durham
County Durham is 9% woodland, close to the 11% England average. That is about 23,640 hectares of trees in all. Woods sell in anything from a few acres to a whole estate, so tell us the size and the use you have in mind and we match on that.
The North Pennines National Landscape protects a large part of County Durham. Woods inside a protected landscape are managed under the same felling licence rules as anywhere else, and ancient woodland has extra protection wherever it is, so check the Ancient Woodland Inventory before you offer.
Felling is licensed by the Forestry Commission, not the council, but 4 councils in County Durham (County Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool, and Stockton-on-Tees) decide on anything you build in a wood and on Tree Preservation Orders, so a quick call to the planning department before you offer is worth it. Our guides cover the rest.
