TPO Tree Preservation Order Advice

A tree preservation order (TPO) should not prevent sensible management of the trees or woodlands that they protect.

Technical Arboriculture has been involved with a variety of TPO applications. We can provide our clients with clear information on the health and risk management of their trees and we can make a formal application on the client’s behalf.

It is not uncommon for disagreements to occur between the local planning authority and the tree owner with regard to what work is acceptable or reasonable. In these situations Technical Arboriculture can give expert tree advice to the tree owner on various aspects of tree law and procedures in relation to tree preservation orders.

We can also make representations to the local planning authority; make formal objections to new tree preservation orders and act as our client’s expert witness in appeal proceedings against refusal of an application for tree work.

Technical Arboriculture not only achieved planning permission for us, but also managed to deflect a TPO being placed upon a London Plane tree which we are the happy custodians of. Communicating with both us, the architects and the Tree Officer, Kevin was timely, polite and professional.
With his help we achieved the outcome we desired, and managed to make sure that what could have become fraught communications remained pleasant, which greatly reduced our stress levels.
