Herring Some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), and additional restrictions can apply to trees within conservation areas.
Why this matters before any work starts
You shouldn't assume that because a tree is growing on your own property, any work can automatically be carried out without restriction. Carrying out unauthorised work on a protected tree can lead to enforcement action.
How to check
- Contact the relevant local planning authority to ask whether a TPO applies
- Check whether the property sits within a conservation area
- Get written confirmation before carrying out significant pruning or removal
- Ask your tree surgeon to help establish the position if you're unsure
