Do I always need permission to work on a protected tree?

Posted on by About Trees

Yes except for:
• Cutting down trees in accordance with one of the Forestry Commission’s grant schemes, or where the commission has granted a felling llicense.

You can cut down or cut back a tree under the following exemptions:
• If the tree is dead, dying or dangerous.
• In line with an obligation under an Act of Parliament.
• At the request of certain organisations specified in the order.
• If it is directly in the way of development that is about to start for which detailed planning permission has been granted.
• In a commercial orchard, or pruning fruit trees in accordance with good horticultural practice.
• To prevent or control a legal nuisance (you may find it helpful to check first with a solicitor).

What is a tree preservation order?

Posted on by About Trees

A tree preservation order is made by the local planning authority which makes it an offence to cut down, reduce, crown thin, uproot, willfully damage or willfully destroy a tree without permission from the planning authority. Tree preservation orders are used to protect trees that contribute to the appearance (amenity value) of an area. They are made if a tree is under threat of being cut down or damaged.
