Woodland Creation Operational Plan

Last updated :04 Jul 2025

Topic: Planting trees and woodlands

The Woodland Creation Operational Plan allows you to show that:

  • you have carefully considered all of the relevant impacts and effects that the work you are proposing might have on the environment
  • where appropriate, the measures you intend to take to mitigate any adverse effects

Summary

The Operational Plan, including the issues log at Annex 2, can be used to record any pre-application work completed ahead of submitting your woodland creation application. 

This is detailed in our Woodland Creation Application Guidance and its Supporting Information.

For example, work that includes:

  • discussions with stakeholders
  • site assessment results

The Woodland Officer will take account of the details you have given in this plan when they assess your application. It will also help them to decide on a score for your application.
