Who is consulted on tree works applications and notifications ?
Tree Preservation Order applications are advertised on our web-site to provide the opportunity for anyone to comment. Parish and town councils are consulted directly on TPO applications and have three weeks within which to comment. Conservation Area notifications are not advertised on our web-site (although the decision notices are published). We do not consult automatically on all notifications, but we do consult parish and town councils on notifications that affect significant trees. We may also consult ward members, amenity socieities and neighbours where we consider that this will provide useful additional information in helping us to reach a decision. Normally the consultation period is one week.
