Certain trees and wooded areas are protected by Tree Preservation Orders, which forbid their removal without the express permission of the local government. We can offer a preliminary evaluation of the safety of your trees and help you with every step of the application process for tree surgery with local government agencies. In addition, we can also communicate with council roadways, traffic control groups, phone and energy line providers, and stump cutting contractors on your behalf. What’s more, we provide free site visits and no obligation consultations whilst adhering to British Standard 3998:2010 in all our tree work. Just, call today to find out more.
To find out if a tree or wood is in a conservation area or has a TPO, you can look up the maps on some local authorities’ websites. Contact the tree officer or someone similar in your local authority if there is no map or list accessible, or if you have any questions.

Additionally, you will also need to provide information to support your case. You will be able to find the forms on the authority and government’s planning portal.
