Why buy woodland in East Sussex
East Sussex is one of England's better-wooded counties: 19% of it is woodland, against 11% for England as a whole. That is about 34,885 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.
South Downs National Park and the High Weald National Landscape protect a large part of East Sussex. 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 6 councils in East Sussex 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.
