Tree preservation orders

Request to protect a tree

You can request a Tree Preservation Order be placed on a tree if you feel a particular tree should be protected.

To request a TPO be placed on a tree:

  1. Email us using the details on this page and include:
    • The address and location of the tree
    • Description of the tree, such as species, height and age
    • The reasons why you would like to see the tree protected
  2. Once we've received your request, we'll conduct a formal assessment of the tree to decide whether it should have a TPO
  3. We aim to notify you of our decision on whether a Tree Preservation Order will be put in place within 12 weeks.
