Stages 3 to 5 - draft, consult on and finalise the Forestry and Woodland Strategy

Submitted by Cameron.Edwards on
9: Stages 3 to 5 - draft, consult on and finalise the Forestry and Woodland Strategy

Stages 3 to 5 - Draft, consult on and finalise the Forestry and Woodland Strategy

Stage 3 - Draft the Forestry and Woodland Strategy

The first draft of the plan might include:

  • the preferred objectives and policies for future woodland creation and the management of existing forests and woodland in the area
  • proposals for different woodland types by category in draft maps or detailed descriptions
  • reasonable alternatives, to be assessed alongside the preferred options.

This would also be a useful stage to prepare any required impact assessments. 


Stage 4 - Consult on the draft Forestry and Woodland Strategy

In preparing a FWS, a planning authority must consult:

  • the Scottish Ministers, (this requirement can be met by consulting the local Scottish Forestry Conservancy office)

    Contact your local Conservancy office

  • such organisations appearing to them to represent those with an interest in
    • the development of forestry and woodlands
    • the protection and enhancement of woodlands
    • the resilience to climate change of woodlands
    • the expansion of woodlands of a range of types to provide multiple benefits to the physical, cultural, economic, social and environmental characteristics of the area
  • such other persons as they consider appropriate

It is for the Planning Authority to determine how it wishes to consult on the policies, proposals and maps in the draft FWS.

The local Scottish Forestry Conservancy office will be an important key agency to involve, along with others such as:

  • NatureScot and Historic Environment Scotland
  • forums with an interest in regional land use, such as Regional Land Use and Regional Adaptation Partnerships where active

Other consultation might include local public meetings to ensure that communities have a chance to input to proposals, talking to community councils, and holding meetings with key stakeholders about particular areas or themes.


Stage 5 - Finalise the Forestry and Woodland Strategy

This stage is to refine the draft strategy to reflect views from the consultation and create a final version.

The FWS should be viewed as a dynamic document, with the underlying data which inform its policies and proposals kept up to date, giving it the capability to adjust to changed circumstances and priorities and so realise the multiple benefits to be gained from forests and woodlands.

It is preferable for the FWS to use high-quality spatial data which Scottish Forestry can publish on its website and use to inform effective and efficient Forestry Grant Scheme decisions.

The LDP cycle has a 10-year review period and an up-to-date FWS will make an invaluable contribution to that.

Stage 2 - scope the Forestry and Woodland Strategy

Submitted by Cameron.Edwards on
8: Stage 2 - scope the Forestry and Woodland Strategy

Stage 2 - Scope the Forestry and Woodland Strategy

Stage 1 looked at the current context of forestry in the LDP area. Stage 2 considers the possible future context that a FWS will need to address.

This stage uses spatial data and policy information to identify: 

  • key issues, challenges and considerations likely to influence the future development and management of woodland in the area
  • the types of woodland that require specific consideration for the local context
  • strategic alternatives that might be delivered through the FWS
  • how the FWS fits with other local plans and strategies for green infrastructure, such as Open Space or Play Sufficiency Strategies


Useful forestry data for scoping a Forestry and Woodland Strategy

It is for the Planning Authority to decide which information is important for their FWS, but the publicly available forestry datasets will help to show the role that forestry can play in delivering a range of benefits to the area, and the capacity for land in the area to achieve them.

There may also be local authority datasets that are useful, for example on nature networks, settlement buffers, tourism and recreation, peatland restoration and Community Woodland Inventories.

This spatial data will be invaluable to develop indicative maps of future woodland creation areas (or to give detailed descriptions, which might be more appropriate for an island FWS).

Consulting with statutory consultees and key stakeholders will also be useful at this stage to get a fuller understanding of the opportunities and considerations for woodland creation and management that have been identified so far.

This would be a useful stage to scope a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) too. Assessment could begin as soon as different options and alternatives are developed, and considered within the early part of the drafting process.

The Scottish Government’s Local Development Planning Guidance sets out how the SEA can be aligned with the preparation of the local development plan.

Local Development Planning Guidance (Scottish Government website)

Stage 1 - review the current forestry context

Submitted by Cameron.Edwards on
7: Stage 1 - review the current forestry context

Stage 1 - review the current forestry context

As part of preparing the LDP Evidence Report, the planning authority will need to:

  • evaluate whether the previous plan delivered on its intended outcomes and allocations
  • identify any lessons learnt for the preparation of the new plan
  • consider the appropriateness of the previous spatial strategy

Depending on timings, these findings could contribute to a review of the existing FWS or other extant forestry plan such as an Indicative Forestry Strategy.


Spatial data to assess existing woodland in the plan area

The following national datasets available on the Scottish Forestry Open Data Portal will help assess the amount of woodland that exists in the plan area, including woodland of high nature conservation value (as stipulated in Section A159(2)(a) of the 1997 Planning Act). 

Scottish Forestry Open Data Portal

The planning authority may hold other useful datasets.

DatasetWhat the data identifies
National Forest InventoryAll existing woodland in the plan area.
Native Woodland Survey of ScotlandAll native woodland, nearly native woodland and Plantations on Ancient Woodland Sites (PAWS) in Scotland.
Ancient Woodland Inventory [Note: it is planned for this to be replaced by a Register of Ancient Woodlands]Woodland recorded as being of semi-natural origin on either the 1750 Roy maps or the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey maps of 1860.

Data to assess the local context for forestry

Information is also available to help assess the local context for forestry. This will highlight if there are trends or factors likely to influence future woodland creation and management in the area - and which the new FWS would need to take account of.

This data might include:

  • maps and statistics of recent woodland creation and felling
  • maps of existing forest habitat networks and priority species
  • agreed timber transport routes
  • the accessibility of existing woodland in and around settlements
  • planned infrastructure developments, and
  • climate projections for the area (and associated risks such as increases in flooding, drought, wildfire and urban heating) and planned peatland restoration

The findings of this review can be used to screen for and possibly scope any appropriate impact assessments the Planning Authority is required to undertake.

The findings will also highlight areas where further research, consultation or data collection is needed in order to write the FWS.

Preparing a Forestry and Woodland Strategy

Planning authorities will need to develop a process to prepare their FWS. A staged approach to writing or updating a FWS might be particularly useful – the local Scottish Forestry Conservancy office will be able to advise.

Contact your local Conservancy Office

Typically, the following suggested stages might be followed: 

  • stage 1 - review the current forestry plan/context
  • stage 2 - scope the FWS
  • stage 3 - draft the FWS
  • stage 4 - consult on the draft FWS
  • stage 5 - finalise the FWS


Spatial data to help prepare a Forestry and Woodland Strategy

GIS-based maps will be invaluable to help visualise the existing and planned woodland in the area, and publicly available datasets will be vital for the planning authority to access, use, modify and share through their own software.

Downloadable data sets relevant to forestry in Scotland are available on the Scottish Forestry Open Data Portal. 

Scottish Forestry Open Data Portal

Useful links from the Open Data Portal include the:

Also available through the Open Data Portal is the SpatialData Metadata Portal.

SpatialData Metadata Portal

This has key datasets for informing a FWS, such as: 

  • land capability for forestry
  • land capability for agriculture
  • flood risk management
  • air quality management
  • local and national nature designations
  • inventories of scheduled monuments and battlefields


Policy information to help prepare a Forestry and Woodland Strategy

Using policy information to inform the FWS will help it reflect legislative and strategic commitments, in turn helping to identify key drivers for future land use in the area.

The most relevant source of policy information is Scotland's Forestry Strategy 2019-2029 which sets out the Scottish Government’s 50-year vision and objectives for Scotland’s forests and woodland, and six priority areas in order to realise this vision.

Scotland's Forestry Strategy 2019-2029

Table 3 sets out key national policies related to forestry.

There will be local strategies and policies that should inform the content of the FWS too, in combination helping to create a vision for the area’s forests and woodlands.

Typical content of a Forestry and Woodland Strategy

Typical content of a Forestry and Woodland Strategy

FWS are map-based documents which use spatial data and policy information to: 

  • give an overview of the existing woodland in the area
  • comment on the main issues currently affecting forestry and woodland and those likely to arise in the future
  • set out the authority’s vision for how woodland and the forestry sector in the area will develop over the period of the development plan and beyond
  • identify the policies against which proposals for woodland creation and woodland management will be assessed

They must meet the requirements for FWS set out in the legislation.

Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 (legislation.gov.uk)


Woodland types in a Forestry and Woodland Strategy 

FWS are designed to be broad in scope, including the full range of woodland types across the Planning Authority area. They aim to support the delivery of diverse benefits — including biodiversity, climate resilience, timber production, and community wellbeing — and to contribute to the Scottish Government’s Climate Change Plan target of increasing forest and woodland cover to 21% by 2032.

This reflects the action in Scotland's Forestry Strategy 2019-2029 that the Scottish Government will ‘support the creation of a range of types and scales of new forests and woodlands using native and other tree species for a range of purposes, including production of timber.’

Scotland's Forestry Strategy 2019-2029

The woodland types that an area can support will reflect regional opportunities and constraints such as landscape and climate. The intention should be for the FWS to support all types of woodland as far as possible. Examples of the woodland types that a FWS might use are given in Table 2

Table 2: Examples of the woodland types that a FWS might use

Used in the Clydeplan Forestry and Woodland Strategy for the Glasgow City RegionUsed in the Moray Woodland and Forestry StrategyUsed in the Angus Forestry amd Woodland Strategy
  • native woodlands
  • mixed woodlands
  • softwood forests
  • energy forests
  • urban woodlands
  • mainly conifer woodland cover
  • mainly broadleaf woodland cover
  • mixed broadleaf and conifer woodland cover
  • woodland of High Nature Conservation Value
  • woodland of High Nature Conservation Value (expansion zones)
  • floodplains and areas predicted to flood
  • riparian woodland
  • woodland in and Around Towns
  • other areas with low sensitivity

Areas for new woodland in a Forestry and Woodland Strategy 

Indicative maps in the FWS are used to identify areas according to how easily they could accommodate new woodland – areas that are usually termed “preferred”, “potential” and “sensitive” areas.

These areas, and the terms “preferred”, “potential” and “sensitive”, are used to inform decisions on Scottish Government forestry grants.

How do we understand these categories?

These categories are widely understood as:

  • preferred land - has the greatest scope to accommodate the expansion of a range of woodland types and so deliver a wider range of benefits. Preferred areas are likely to have fewer considerations to address.
  • potential land – has considerable potential to accommodate future creation of a range of woodland types but with at least one significant consideration to address. The extent to which these can be addressed at the design stage will determine if a woodland creation proposal can be accommodated.
  • sensitive land - has limited scope to accommodate further woodland creation because of a combination of considerations. Limited expansion might be possible in these areas but only if it is of a scale and character that can be accommodated without significant negative impacts on those considerations and/or where it would positively enhance features of local interest.

Woodland creation grant applications in any of these areas will need to meet the requirements of the UK Forestry Standard (UKFS) and Forestry Grant Scheme.

Planning Authority policies and proposals for forestry

The legal requirements relating to a Planning Authority’s policies and proposals for forestry are broad in scope and include their development, protection and enhancement, their resilience to climate change, and the expansion of a range of woodland types to provide multiple benefits.

Achieving these outcomes will require both woodland creation and the management of existing woods and forests, and these activities will need to be carried out in line with the UK Forestry Standard (UKFS) and its associated guidelines.

Guidelines for UK Forestry Standard (Forest Research website)

Local Development Plans (LDP) should be supported and informed by an up-to-date FWS. Further advice on how a FWS should contribute to the LDP process can be found in the Scottish Government’s Local Development Planning guidance.

Local Development Planning advice (Scottish Government website)


National Planning Framework

Reflecting National Planning Framework in a Forestry and Woodland Strategy National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) places the global climate emergency and nature crisis at the heart of decision-making in Scotland’s planning system, and forests and woodlands have a crucial role to play in helping to address both and to support a growing economy.

National Planning Framework 4 / NPF4 (Scottish Government website)

By setting out the Planning Authority’s objectives and policies for future woodland creation and the management of existing forests and woodland in the area, some of the ways in which a FWS can support the implementation of NPF4 policies are illustrated in Table 1.

Note, though, that this technical note is intended as guidance for meeting the FWS requirements of the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 rather than the detail of NPF4.

Planning (Scotland) Act 2019 (legislation.gov.uk)

Table 1: Connection between a FWS and key NPF4 policies

Reflecting sustainable forest management in a Forestry and Woodland Strategy

Planning authorities (and all other public authorities in Scotland) also have a duty to promote sustainable forest management under Section 2(2) of the Forestry and Land Management (Scotland) Act 2018 - it is expected this will be reflected in their FWS.

Forestry and Land Management (Scotland) Act 2018 (legislation.gov.uk)

The benefits of a Forestry and Woodland Strategy

A FWS can help a Planning Authority realise a wide range of social, economic and environmental benefits from the forests and woodlands in its area. 

These benefits will be experienced by those involved in:

  • creating new woodland
  • managing maturing woodlands
  • harvesting
  • transporting
  • sawmilling
  • manufacturing timber products

Benefits will also be experienced by those involved in forest-based activities that support:

  • physical activity
  • mental well-being
  • community development
  • tourism
  • education
  • appreciation of historic sites
  • environmental protection

Did you know?

A FWS can also help deliver wider policies and contribute to significant benefits to Scotland, such as:

  • natural flood management
  • biodiversity conservation
  • carbon sequestration
  • people’s health and well-being

In particular, FWS have a significant role to play in supporting the delivery of the Scottish Government’s Climate Change Plan targets for woodland creation.

By helping to inform decisions about creating and managing woodland and developing the local forestry sector, a FWS has a key role to play in maximising these benefits.

By steering woodland creation to the most appropriate locations, a FWS can also help to reduce conflict over proposals and encourage successful grant applications.

A range of issues will still need to be considered at the local level, including community aspirations and concerns.

For this reason, during the process to develop a FWS, consideration should also be given to Local Place Plans where they exist.

Requirements of a Forestry and Woodland Strategy

A FWS is required under section A159 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 as amended by the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019. It can be prepared either singly or jointly in collaboration with other planning authorities.


The legal requirements for a Forestry and Woodland Strategy

The legal requirements for FWS are that it must:

  • identify woodlands of high nature conservation value in the planning authority's area, and
  • set out the planning authority's policies and proposals in their area, as to
    • the development of forestry and woodlands
    • the protection and enhancement of woodlands, in particular those of high nature conservation value
    • the resilience to climate change of woodlands, again in particular those of high nature conservation value
    • the expansion of woodlands of a range of types to provide multiple benefits to the physical, cultural, economic, social and environmental characteristics of the area
    • any other matter which the planning authority considers appropriate

What is a woodland of high nature conservation value?

Regarding the first legal requirement for a FWS, a ‘woodland of high conservation value’ can be described as: 

  • native woodland and scrub as identified by the Native Woodland Survey of Scotland [but note that nativeness is not a requirement for the other categories listed below]
  • ancient woodland and ancient semi-natural woodland, including Plantations on Ancient Woodland Sites (PAWS) and Long-Established woodlands of Plantation Origin (LEPO)
  • woodland that is integral to the value of designated or special sites (Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), Special Protection Areas (SPAs), Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), Ramsar sites, and National Nature Reserves (NNRs), and
  • wood pasture

The requirement for a planning authority to set out their policies and proposals is explained further through the next chapters of this document.

Technical guidance to support Planning Authorities

This technical guidance provides information to support Planning Authorities to prepare or update their Forestry and Woodland Strategy (FWS)

It is expected that, where available, an up-to-date FWS will inform the Planning Authority’s Local Development Plan Evidence Report. 

Planning Authorities can seek advice on sustainable forest management and the multiple benefits of forestry in relation to a FWS from their local Scottish Forestry Conservancy office.

Contact your local Conservancy office


What is a Forestry and Woodland Strategy?

A FWS sets out a Planning Authority’s vision, policies and plans for the future of forestry and woodland in its area.

It should reflect the Scottish Government’s approach to sustainable forest management (a term that includes woodland creation and managing existing forests) and delivering multi-benefit forestry that will help to realise a range of social, economic and environmental benefits.
