Tree Work Applications, Stevenage
Some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). For protection purposes, a TPO is issued as a legal mechanism to conserve and protect trees for public enjoyment, environmental and beauty purposes. Trees that are under a preservation order need a tree work application submitted to the relevant local Council for felling and pruning in most cases (exceptions being if the tree is dead or in a dangerous condition, however the Council still needs to be notified).
We can check with the Council for you and submit an application on your behalf for tree work, before carrying out the approved tree alterations. Tree Surgeons & Surgery Stevenage will also carry out the required notifications if a tree is dead or dangerous, including preliminary investigations, and of course the required removal and remediation. Trees within a Conservation Area also benefit from Local Authority protection where removal or lopping/pruning is required. This applies to trees with a diameter of 7.5cm or more at a height of at least 1.5m above ground level, or 10cm diameter if thinning to help the growth of other trees. There are exceptions, which we can also advise you on. The application process to carry out tree work within a Conservation Area can also be completed by us. |
