LL8 Works to preserved trees

The Council will give consent for works to a tree or woodland protected by a tree preservation order provided it is satisfied that:

  • the health and appearance of the tree will not be impaired; and
  • the works will not unjustifiably inhibit or prevent the full and natural development of the tree; or
  • the works are necessary to its continued retention and consistent with good arboricultural practice; or
  • in the case of a woodland, the proposed works are consistent with the principles of sound woodland management.
