Tree preservation orders

Tree Preservation Orders are used to protect trees of a high amenity value or which have a significant impact on the environment. Where a TPO is made, under Section 198 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990, we must identify the tree(s) protected by the order on a location plan.
