I went through the process with BCT, including property inspection etc, and all was good for an agreement with some rare vegetation and bird species. The only issue was that the neighbour did not have his horses totally enclosed- there was a possibility they could roam onto my property.
Some months later they fenced the back of their horse area, so the one hurdle for my BCT agreement was gone. I advised my BCT contact that the horses were no longer able to wander onto my place.
He had moved on, but passed me onto the person now handling it, then some weeks later, after a few emails from me wondering what was happening, they told me that they had “lost the paperwork”!
Interesting, as I don’t think there is any paper inside most computers!
They said I’d have to start from scratch and do it all again.
There aren’t currently any offers for my area, SE of Tamworth. Maybe I should have made an agreement with a logging company to clearfell everything instead!
