Abstract

These Regulations make further provision for felling under Part 4 of the Forestry and Land Management (Scotland) Act 2018. They principally concern an application for felling permission (to be made to and decided by the Scottish Ministers), restocking directions, felling directions, remedial notices and claims for compensation for refusal of felling permission or stop notices. The Scottish Minsters may only impose conditions on a restocking direction or a remedial notice which relate to (a) avoidance or mitigation of the impact on communities or individuals, (b) avoidance or mitigation of the impact on the environment, biodiversity or protection of species, and (c) the retention of, or increase in, woodland cover.
