Get help to plan your woodland

We offer two pieces of guidance to help you plan your woodland:

• woodland creation planning guide
• priority habitats and deep peat

Woodland Creation Planning Guide

This guidance will help you to find out if any sensitive areas on your land will have an impact on your plan to create a new woodland.

Not all areas of land are suitable for woodland creation.

Priority Habitats and Deep Peat Guide

You will only need to use this guidance if your land contains any potential habitats or deep peat.

This guidance will help you identify priority habitats and will show you how to commission an ecological survey.
