A Tree preservation order (TPO) is a legal order made by the Borough Council to protect specific trees, groups of trees or woodlands in the interests of amenity. The TPO order prohibits-
Cutting Down
Topping
Lopping
Uprooting
Wilful Damage
Wilful Destruction
of trees without the local planning authority's written consent. If consent is given, it can be subject to conditions which have to be followed. All of a tree is protected by a TPO, the cutting of roots is also a prohibited activity and requires the authority's consent.
There is still a little work to do on this map , but below are the trees within Wormegay which have TPO's on them for quick reference. If you are unsure if this affects your trees then please contact the Borough Planning Department in the first instance.
