Carriage Driving Permits

Our Rights of Way Officer, Tricia Singleton, has been working to build relationships with Forestry England and the New Forest National Park Authority to advocate for carriage driving in the New Forest. This work has come in handy with some recent changes to the permit applications process for Forestry England that was throwing some 'teething problems' and making the carriage driving permit application more complicated than it needed to be.

Tricia has received conformation from the Activities and Permissions team that there is only a two-step process, plus payment, to complete for annual carriage driving permits for the New Forest which is outlined below. Click on the titles to show the detail of each stage.

1 - Email Forestry England to start the process

Send an email to the southern.permissions@forestryengland.uk requesting an annual horse drawn carriage driving permit.

The team will then respond with a link to the initial application enquiry form.

2 - Initial application enquiry form

Payment

If you experience any problems with the application process, please email Tricia on hants.bds.row@gmail.com with the date of your application and any reference numbers you have.
