Roads

Grant aid is provided by the Forest Service for the construction of harvesting roads.

This grant aid is structured as follows:

•  Maximum grant rate is €40 per linear metre of road constructed.

We at Deel Forestry will obtain approval from the Forest Service before road construction commences.
This involves:

• Submitting the relevant application form signed by the applicant, we will provide a forester and a surveyor or engineer if necessary
• A roads map outlining the area to be served and the length and position of the proposed road.
• A location map
• Identify and resolve any issues relating to plantation access and rights of way
• Proposed new entrances would be discussed with the County Council local engineer and written approval received.
