  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend as respects England and Wales the Forestry (Felling of Trees) Regulations 1979 (S.I. 1979/791, as amended by S.I. 1987/632). They insert a definition of “electronic communication” and a provision relating to references to the communication being “authenticated” to enable applications for felling licences to be made electronically. They also substitute a new regulation 4 and a new Schedule 2, which sets out particulars to be included in an application for a felling licence (instead of the previous requirement to complete a standard application form). They come into force on 1st March 2002.",
