A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is a legal protection placed on a tree or group of trees by a local planning authority. Any works to a TPO, protected tree — including pruning, crown reduction, felling or root works — require the council's prior consent via a planning application. Carrying out works without consent is a criminal offence. There are over 100,000 TPOs in England protecting individual trees, woodlands and groups of trees.
