On 1st October 2008 new Tree Preservation Order regulations come
into force. These introduce a new national standard
application form for work to protected trees and a fast track
appeals system.
Please note that from the 1 October there will be no
transitional period to accept applications by any means other than
the new form.
The application form to carry out
works on trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order
(TPO) and guidance notes are available for download
below.
The local authority is responsible for the efficient
management of trees within the authority. This includes the
application of Tree Preservation Orders (TPO's) and the
protection of trees within conservation areas. For enquiries,
please contact the Senior Arboricultural Officer via the details
below.
You can access further information relating to aspects of tree
management by using the links below or in the right-hand menu.
