Introduction

In conservation areas and places with Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs), We help play a crucial role in safeguarding trees and maintaining the local environment.

​

1. Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs):

   • A TPO is an order issued by a local planning authority in England to protect specific trees, groups of trees, or woodlands in the interest of amenity.

   • Prohibited activities under a TPO include:

     • Cutting down

     • Topping

     • Pruning

     • Uprooting

     • Wilful damage or destruction of trees

   • Consent from the local planning authority is required for any of these activities. If consent is granted, it may be subject to conditions.

   • We provide expert advice on tree management, ensuring that TPO regulations are followed and trees remain safe and healthy.

2. Conservation Areas:

   • These areas are designated to preserve heritage and natural beauty.

   • Stricter planning controls apply within conservation areas, including regulations related to trees.

   • Arborists help maintain and enhance the amenity provided by protected trees in these areas.

   • Regular inspections and necessary maintenance ensure tree safety and health.

In summary, arborists are essential for tree protection, ensuring that our natural environment thrives while respecting legal requirements and local aesthetics.
