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® 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’re on an Ordnance Survey MasterMap® base.
We have adopted Ordnance Survey MasterMap® as the required map standard for applications. MasterMap® 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.
