06 Nov 2026 Felling licence applications not available on-line

The Forestry Commission has taken the current felling licence application service offline, while they are assessing the risk posed by the recent PHP vulnerabilities. This is a precautionary measure.

If you have an application in progress, there will be a processing delay. Processing applications will resume as soon as possible and you do not need to take any action at the moment.

In the meantime, to apply for a felling licence please contact this email address to request support.
