Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs)
Certain trees are given protection by the Town and Country Planning Act.
This protection is provided in the form of a Tree Preservation Order (TPO).
The purpose of a TPO is to protect trees which make an important contribution to their local surroundings. Where developments take place it is important to retain existing trees and the Council encourages developers to incorporate the trees into new developments. Where there are trees within a development site, the Council will consider prior to development whether they are worthy of protection.
