Do You Need Permission to Cut Down a Tree?

It depends on the tree and its location. Some trees are protected, meaning permission is required before any work is carried out.

What can restrict tree work

• A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) on the specific tree
• The property being within a conservation area
• Planning conditions attached to the site
• Protected species or habitats associated with the tree

How to check

Your local council maintains records of Tree Preservation Orders and conservation area boundaries, and can confirm whether a specific tree is protected before work begins. Never assume a tree is unrestricted simply because it's on your own property.

Herring can discuss what checks may be needed for your particular tree. Call 07780 727385.
