Felling trees is frequently an essential element of promoting a site, but the law around felling is complex, and changing fast. Proceeding with felling without understanding these complexities, whether in the early stages of preparing a site or in order to make way for the development itself, can result in serious enforcement consequences that have the potential to scupper a proposal altogether. In this episode, Scott Stemp, Daniel Henderson, and Jessica Allen discuss the law around felling licences, the complex network of exceptions, and some important recent caselaw on the interaction with planning permission, including a highly significant High Court judgment from earlier this year.
