Frequently asked questions

Do I need planning permission for tree works?
If a tree is in a conservation area, you must notify the council before carrying out most works (prior notification). If a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), you need the council's consent before doing any works. Permitted development allows some minor works to small trees. Always check with your council first.
How do I object to a tree works planning application?
Tree works applications (for conservation area trees or TPO trees) are published on the council's planning portal and open for comment. Planning Signal alerts you the moment a new tree application is submitted near you, giving you the full 28-day notification period to respond.
