 Tree preservation Orders Leicester

We are the Top 10 best Tree Surgeons in Leicester. Like how national forests and some plant species are protected, there is an order to protect certain trees. The Tree Preservation Orders protect specific trees that help contribute to areas. The trees under the order have an exact value expressed in the written order. The orders can cover a single tree or an entire woodland and specify why they are protected and what their value is set for.

 Why Do Tree Preservation Orders Matter?

A Tree Preservation Order matters because it stops all and any work requested of removal or alteration of the trees. The only exception to the order is for emergencies. If someone chooses to ignore following the order, they can get charged a heavy price and see future problems with the law. Understanding what trees and areas are protected with the orders is essential for removal and tree alteration inquiries.

 

 The local authorities keep a huge record based on every tree covered with a Tree Protection Order. The order shows interactive map systems and details every tree and woodland covered in the protection order. It is essential to follow the law and be proactive when dealing with any tree covered with the order.

 

 Protection orders can hinder certain areas of construction or removal services and should be dealt with responsibly. Suppose you’re interested in doing work or having altercations made on trees that are covered by the order. In that case, some processes work with the local authorities through applications.

 

 The processes may or may not work within specific conservation areas. Please note that not all trees are protected regardless of their size or species. However, they are eligible for protection. When a tree preservation order is placed and approved, it is immediate.

 

 They allow an order to get terminated up to six months or have modifications made with additional details or certain trees added to the order. Still, it may not exclude trees in the area designed to be protected. Getting an order set up to prevent topping, uprooting, demolishing, or damaging a tree can get established within a day if there is an emergency or immediate danger to the tree. If there is no immediate danger, the order can take many months to establish.

Where Are Some Conservation Areas In Leicestershire?

The Tree Preservation Order covers conservation areas. They designate a conservation area for historical or architectural qualities. They are set up to enhance towns and provide an attractive living environment with quality and design. There are around 24 areas in Leicestershire that are considered conservation areas.

 

Some conservation areas in Leicestershire include Old Humberstone, Belgrave Hall, West End, Loughborough Road, Church Gate, Knighton, New Walk, Castle, Aylestone, and more. These areas require detailed written requests and permission from an authority for anyone to work on any tree in the surrounding areas.


Trees are living things that can be unpredictable sometimes, and unexpected problems occur. Tree Preservation Orders mean that if you own a tree with TPO protection, it becomes an offence to carry out certain types of work on the tree without prior written consent from the local authority.

A Tree Preservation Order does not protect most trees in Leicester, but if you are unsure, don't hesitate to get in touch with us for advice. If a TPO protects your tree, then any works that need to be carried out must meet the relevant requirements.
