Conservation And Urban Design Planning - Tree Preservation Orders: Outline

Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) prohibits the cutting down, uprooting, topping, lopping, wilful damage or wilful destruction of trees without the local authorities consent. TPOs can be placed on any tree that has amenity value. Trees that are exempt from TPOs are those that are dead, dying, diseased or dangerous and fruit trees grown for the commercial production of fruit.
