Trees in conservation areas

If a tree is not covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), it is protected if it is in a conservation area and its stem is more than 7.5cm in diameter, when measured at 1.5m above ground level.

You can use our map to check if the tree is in a conservation area.

If you want to work on one of these trees, you must give us 6 weeks notice in writing. You can use our tree works notification form to do this.

We will consider your notification and if we do not make a new TPO to protect the trees by the end of the 6 week period, your work can go ahead. 

You can search and view existing and past applications and notifications for tree works.
