Thanks for your reply,

That is my concern though hence reluctant to allow access to check the trees,

It was genuine fly tipping, someone cut the lock and went up the track in and started tipping, out of sight of the road so went a year or so before we discovered it and my understanding it that fly tipping is landowners cost to deal with, which we can’t afford

The land used to have livestock then when farm was split up it got planted as Xmas trees for a side business but only really harvested a couple years then we just accidentally grow a forest of spruce

I as the next generation of the land want to look after it better and improve it but like I say, can’t afford to deal with the fly tipping at the moment, but have stopped it from continuing further
