Selling woodland in Leicestershire? This page is for buyers. See how many buyers match your property.
Why buy woodland in Leicestershire
Leicestershire is 7% woodland, well under the 11% England average, so a wood here is a scarcer thing. That is about 14,353 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.
Leicestershire 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 8 councils in Leicestershire 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.
