Recommendation 24
24
Paragraph: 120
Set realistic long-term target for domestically produced timber, informed by comprehensive land use analysis.
Recommendation
We recommend that the Government set a realistic long-term target for the amount of timber to be produced domestically. This target should be informed by: • the analysis being undertaken to produce Defra’s Land Use Framework; • a comprehensive analysis of the commercial species which need to be planted, and over what area, and • the context of the global timber market, including a realistic assessment of the level of imports still required to meet both the quality and quantity requirements of the UK market.
