How does the council decide which trees to protect?
The council may make TPOs: • to protect important trees or groups of trees, which are under threat. • to strengthen a planning condition for the protection of existing trees or trees to be planted as a requirement of a planning condition. • to protect trees, considered to be of special value in a particular area, even though there is no direct threat to them. • to protect a woodland area by securing the replanting of trees, which have been felled with the council’s consent.
