Tree preservation orders

 

Tree preservation orders were introduced to enable local planning authorities to protect important trees.

 

Tree preservation orders can be placed on any tree, the ones that are exempt from tree preservation orders are those that are dead, dying, diseased or dangerous and fruit trees grown for the commercial production of fruit.

 

Tree preservation orders do not permit the cutting down, uprooting, topping, lopping, wilful damage or wilful destruction of trees without our consent.

 

The maximum penalty for carrying out works to tree preservation order trees without consent is £20,000.

 

Our policy is only to protect trees that are under a direct threat.

 

For a guide to the law and best practise on Tree Preservation Orders please see the Urban Policy on the Communities and Local Government website.
