Can trees be protected by Planning Conditions?
The Council, when granting Planning permission for development, may require existing trees to be retained as a condition of the Planning permission, even if they are not protected by Preservation Order or Conservation Area. If a tree is located in the grounds of a property that was built or extended within the last five years, it may be protected by Planning Condition. Please contact the Council’s Planning Department if you are unsure whether a Planning Condition applies to the trees in your garden.
