How can I object to or express support for a Tree Preservation Order ?
If you or anyone else wants to support a Tree Preservation Order, write to the Local Planning Authority within 28 days saying why and giving details of the relevant trees. The planning authority will take these comments into account when it decides whether to confirm the Order. Should you wish to object to a Tree Preservation Order you should submit a written objection within 28 days of the date you receive it. Your objection will be considered and efforts made to negotiate a solution. Should negotiations be unsuccessful, the objection will be placed before the appropriate Planning Sub-committee, and Elected Members will decide the matter in public forum. They may overturn the Tree Preservation Order, request that it be modified in some way or confirm it as served.
