Abstract: Afforestation is not subject to development control in Britain, but local planning authorities may exert an influence on it through consultation procedures relating to Forestry Commission planting grants. The operation of these procedures in Scotland in 1988–89 is reviewed. Their analysis suggests a high rate of outcomes in accordance with requests from local planning authorities. Nevertheless, dissatisfaction has been expressed over the working of the consultation procedures. The paradox of apparent performance and dissatisfaction is discussed.
