Why buy woodland in London
Yes, London has farms. Inside the Greater London boundary there are 152 commercial holdings on about 9,575 hectares, almost all on the Green Belt edge in outer boroughs such as Havering, Bromley, Enfield, Hillingdon, and Bexley: grazing, hay, market gardens, and livery yards inside the M25. Most buyers here want a paddock, a plot, or a smallholding within reach of the city.
London is 5% woodland, well under the 11% England average, so a wood here is a scarcer thing. That is about 8,441 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.
London has no National Park or National Landscape, so the rules on a wood here are the standard ones: a felling licence from the Forestry Commission for anything beyond 5 cubic metres a quarter, and planning permission for buildings or a change of use.
Felling is licensed by the Forestry Commission, not the council, but 33 councils in London 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.
