SFGS Forest Plans

Description:


Forest Plans were introduced for landowners planning to carry out felling, restocking and thinning in their woodlands over a 20 year period.


The Forestry Commission (now Scottish Forestry) provided a grant to help prepare a plan (Plan Preparation Grant) and owners can claim restocking grants set at the same rate as the Woodland Grant Scheme (1999 - 2003) or Scottish Forestry Grant Scheme (2003 - 2006).


Once the plan is approved, a Forest Plan contract provides felling and restocking approval for 10 years.


Forest Plans (SFGS) were closed to new applications in December 2006.

Statement

Information is mapped from Forest Plan contract maps supplied by the applicants (normally based on 1:2500 or 1:10,000 OS maps).


Spatial data has been digitised against OS raster backdrops using 1:25,000 scale between 1999 and 2000, and 1:10,000 scale between 2000 and 2003. From 2004 onwards, OS Mastermap has been used as the base mapping.


This dataset was regularly updated following the schemes closure up until 2017. No further updates will be applied.
