Tree Preservation Orders in Cheshire


Many trees in Cheshire are protected by a preservation order. These are trees of a high amenity value or which have a significant impact on the environment and have been identified by the council and protected by an order. Once an order has been made, the consent of the council is required before a tree may be pruned or felled. In certain circumstances, it may be agreed that pruning or removal may be permitted in order to accommodate development, but the TPO enables the council to control these actions and to obtain new planting to replace trees which are removed.


Conservation areas in Cheshire


Trees in conservation areas are also subject to special provisions introduced in 1974. Anyone wishing to fell, prune or uproot trees in a conservation area, unless they form a hazard to public safety or are already covered by a Tree Preservation Order, must give the council six weeks' notice. Work must not be carried out within that period without consent, otherwise penalties may be incurred. The regulations made under this act give certain exemptions from this requirement, and applicants are advised to contact the development control section if they are in any doubts about the procedures.


We can assist with submitting application for tree works via the planning portal.
