Tree Preservation Orders and Hedgerows

Many trees are protected by tree preservation orders. You will need consent from the Council to carry out any works to them.

There are also controls over trees within a Conservation Area and trees covered by Conditions within a Planning Approval.

If you have any queries, you can contact Development Control Administration on 01322 343203 who will advise you if any of these apply to your trees.
