Why do you need planning permission to plant trees on grassland? And

You don't, though some bureaucrats may claim that you do. However,
you have to ensure that what you plant can at least be claimed to
the commercial forestry.

Not at all. I've applied for and received grants available for
amenity planting, and for planting to encourage wildlife. Such plantings
can be of a variety scale or location, that would never be commercial.
Anyone can apply; in fact, you don't even need to be the owner of the
land (though you do need their consent to the planting).

I was referring to planning permission.
