Dear all,
As far as I am aware you don't get the £7450 per annum it is just a lump sum
and they only pay the interest on the amount rather than using the original
capital. A budget of £7450 per annum with an interest rate of 3% would
generate £223.50/year to carry out work on the woodland (which isn't a lot).
As the interest rate increase and decreases the initial capital will increase
or decrease pro rata.
Regards
Andrew Giles

Dear all
A quick question on the cost of woodland maintenance for 10 years because of
disagreement with woodland to be adopted by the LPA in the future.
Based on minimum maintenance regime, the cost of maintaining a m2 per annum
would be 74.5 pence. Therefore, £7.45 for 10 years per m2.
10,000 sq metres = 1 hectare so maintenance of 1ha woodland for 10 years
would be £74,500.
Is my maths bad regarding the placing of the decimal point because £74k for
minimal maintenance over 10 years appears excessive, especially for minimal
maintenance like litter picking and odd tree surgery work.
Does anybody know of any national guidance or recognised guidance on cost of
a m2 of woodland or cost for a hectare for a year
Thanks
Richard
