Trees, which are important for public enjoyment, can be protected by a Tree Preservation Order.
If you are aware of any important individual or groups of trees, which may be threatened by felling, topping, lopping or uprooting, contact us, and we may serve an order.
Many important trees are protected and you will need to make an application to us for works to fell or lop a tree that is protected, and works to trees within a Conservation Area. You need to give six weeks' notice if you wish to fell or lop a tree in a conservation area.
Please contact the Development Control team, Arboricultural Officer or Customer Services to confirm if a tree is protected.
Please Note: the list cannot be considered as a definitive check on whether a tree is protected or not, and before you undertake any tree works, you should contact us.
