If consent is refused – or granted with conditions – you can seek compensation from your Local Planning Authority for any loss or damage which results.

If consent is refused – or granted with conditions – you can seek compensation from your local planning authority for any loss or damage which results. However you cannot make a claim where, under the terms of the Tree Preservation Order, the planning authority has issued a certificate saying either: that the refusal or condition is in the interests of good forestry, or that the trees or woodland have an outstanding or special amenity value. You can appeal to the Secretary of State against such a certificate. Local Planning Authorities will not be able to issue these certificates under the preservation Orders which are made after 2 August 1999. But they will be able to issue them under Orders made before that date.
