Local & National Authority Regulations
Tree Preservation
Orders (TPO)
TPO & Conservation Areas
Tree Preservation Orders (TPO) and Conservation Areas play a vital role in safeguarding specific trees, as well as preserving the natural beauty of designated areas. Any maintenance or work carried out on a tree with a TPO requires prior authorization from the local authority through an official planning application. To ensure a successful application, it is crucial to seek the guidance of a qualified and knowledgeable arboriculture expert.
At Oak Valley Tree Consultancy, we specialize in assisting with planning applications for tree works within TPOs and Conservation Areas. With our years of experience and expertise, we navigate the intricate regulations and liaise with local authorities to streamline the process.
Failure to comply with the regulations governing Tree Preservation Orders can lead to significant penalties. Offenders may face fines of up to £20,000 if convicted in the Magistrates Court. In more severe cases, defendants can be brought before the Crown Court, where they may be subject to an “unlimited fine.”
Don’t risk the consequences of non-compliance. Contact us today using the convenient contact form below to discuss your requirements and benefit from our professional assistance with planning applications for TPO and Conservation Area tree works.
