TPO Applications and Appeals

Local Authorities have the powers to protect trees where they are considered important for the visual amenity they provide, Tree Preservation Orders TPO or Conservation Areas CA are used by Local Authorities to ensure protection of important trees.
Protected trees require written consent from the Local planning Authority before any proposed works can be completed on them. Completing works without prior consent could result in prosecution and hefty fines. However, works to protected trees may be completed where an exemption exists e.g dead trees, deadwood removal or dangerous trees subject to a 5-day notification to the Local Authority.
