Anyone who cuts down, uproots, tops, lops or wilfully damages a tree in a Conservation Area may have committed an offence. The penalties are the same for those contravening a Tree Preservation Order. The maximum fine in a magistrate’s court are £20,000 for destroying a tree and £2,500 for works carried out without consent.
