Guidance

Request a map from the Forestry Commission

If you need to include a map with an application to the Forestry Commission, we will create an OS MasterMap庐 free of charge for you.

Applies to England

Allow 2 weeks for delivery if you plan to apply before an application window closes.

The Forestry Commission only accepts application maps if they鈥檙e on an Ordnance Survey MasterMap庐 base.

We have adopted Ordnance Survey MasterMap庐 as the required map standard for applications. MasterMap庐 is the most up-to-date large-scale digital map of Great Britain and is recognised as the mapping standard.

Request a map for your grant or felling application

Download, print and complete the Map Request Form and send it to the relevant Administrative Hub.

You should provide a copy of another map clearly highlighting the full area that needs to be on the print that shows the National Grid Reference of a point near the centre of the highlighted area.

Alternatively, give the grid references for the 4 corners of the area you need. Make sure that the whole area of the application is included within the 4 points.

We provide all maps at A3 size and orientated landscape or portrait depending on the application area.

Please note, these maps must only be used as part of a Forestry Commission application process. If you use the map we give you for any other purpose, you will be in breach of copyright.
