I thought you need to apply for change of use to turn a field into a woodland?
It'd happen naturally if you left it long enough!
Do you think you could convince the planning officers that it was just a lot longer than they thought since they last visited, when they pop by to check out your field and find it crammed with majestic oaks and a few suites worth of Scots pine?

You might be able to argue you were assisting a natural process! Of course what you ought to do is get the trees in, say they grew naturally (don't leave the tags on!) or just bung a few acorns in, then it would only be a semi-lie! get TPO's on them, and sit back and watch the planners argue with the conservation people. It'd take them years to sort it out between them, by which time you'd have your 12 years of use or whatever it is.
I am very sad to say, that probably they wouldn't have anything more constructive to do - like stoping some evil developer developing the wood next door!
