20 November 2008The Council is concerned about unjustified pruning and felling of trees that can take place in the District.
Legislation is in place to afford protection to a percentage of those trees and woodlands that offer amenity value. The legislation is in the form of conservation areas throughout the district (of which there are currently 40) and tree preservation orders (TPOs) of which there are currently in excess of 900.
Conservation areas and TPOs are continuously being reviewed with new orders regularly being served.
