As a professional company, we perform local authority checks on each and every one of our jobs. Our team have been dealing with local councils for years and have plenty of experience on where conservation areas are and what is and isn’t allowed. We don’t charge to do the planning applications or paperwork required, and we can offer advice on what is best for the ongoing management of your trees.
Trees, even stumps, are sometimes subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). This is because trees are an asset and contribute hugely to an area’s biodiversity as well as providing a certain level of aesthetic appeal. Many village centres are within a conservation area and many old and large, or particularly important trees are covered by a TPO.
