The Forestry Commission (including its agencies Forest Research and, Forest Enterprise England and Forest Enterprise Scotland) follows survey control procedures, which provide a mechanism for controlling the burden of surveys on businesses and local authorities. Application of these procedures in the FC is described in a guidance note.
The Survey Control Liaison Officer prepares annual reports (previously called Compliance and Quality Improvement Plans), which report on statistical survey activity in the latest financial year and set out plans for future statistical surveys, in the coming year and outline plans for the following two years.
The latest annual plans are available here. Separate annual plans are compiled for England, Scotland and Wales. An Annex to each plan brings together the estimated compliance costs for FC surveys in all three countries, giving Great Britain totals.
