APPLICATIONS TO THE LOCAL AUTHORITY
FOR WORK TO TREES IN A CONSERVATION AREA OR PROTECTED BY A TREE PRESERVATION ORDER
We will inform you of any protected trees and the procedure for gaining approval. There is no charge for this service. It can take up to six weeks for trees in a conservation area and up to eight weeks under a TPO. If your tree works are refused you can appeal within 28 days. We will advise on the likelihood of your appeal succeeding. We liaise with the Planning Inspectorate and local authority tree officers to ensure you are well represented at all times.
