Tree preservation orders
There are thousands of trees across the UK with Tree Preservation Orders. So, what are they, what do you need to do before you can carry out any work and how can we help?
What is a Tree Preservation Order?
A Tree Preservation Order is an order made by a local planning authority to protect specific trees, groups of trees or woodlands. Whilst a landowner can undertake maintenance and remedial work as and when they need to for most trees, the presence of a Tree Preservation Order means you’ll need to get written permission from your local planning authority before undertaking any work on it, even if it is carried out by a qualified professional.
Does your tree with a TPO need attention?
If you’ve noticed disease, decay or simply that a tree with a TPO looks like it could need pruning, topping, lopping or maintenance, you’ll need to start an application with your local authority as soon as possible; small issues can quickly escalate in to larger problems so shouldn’t be left for a prolonged period.
Having a professional assessment to aid your application
To improve your chances of gaining permission to undertake work, it’s important to have an assessment from a qualified tree surgeon.
It will also help you gain an understanding of the work required to make the tree safe and well-maintained, saving you the cost and inconvenience of having to make several individual applications further down the line.
