Selling woodland in Essex? This page is for buyers. See how many buyers match your property.
Why buy woodland in Essex
Essex is 7% woodland, well under the 11% England average, so a wood here is a scarcer thing. That is about 26,739 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 Dedham Vale National Landscape and the Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Landscape protect a large part of Essex. 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 14 councils in Essex 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.
