Tree Preservation Orders

TPOs are often made in respect of groups of trees (including hedgerows) or a number of trees on a large estate. It is recommended that the advice of a tree surgeon or similar expert is obtained prior to attempting work on a protected tree, even if council consent is granted. If a newer property is affected by a planning condition imposed upon the original builders, it would be a breach of planning control to remove any trees this condition required the developer to plant.
