Works to Trees Additional Guidance

Clearly mark the location and species of the tree(s) on a plan. The description of works needs to be clear and the reason for the works needs to be included. Please supply a contact telephone number because an appointment may be required to view the tree(s). No fee is payable for these applications.

Applications for works to protected trees are processed in a similar way to planningapplications. You can check progress on your application in our online database. We will either refuse consent or grant consent with conditions. Conditions typically require the planting of replacement trees, where trees are felled, or specify the and/or the timing of work and an expiration period.
