Making an Application2  

Please note from 1st October 2008 applications can only be accepted using the new 1App form below.

Any works that may affect a tree within a Conservation Area or which is included in a Tree Preservation Order must be notified to the Council, with some minor exceptions.

You must apply using the 1APP tree form which is now mandatory nationally for TPO tree work applications. The 1APP form can also be used for Conservation Area.notifications Please see most recent Government guidance notes below for help in completing the application.

Sketch maps

Your application should include a sketch plan showing trees, boundaries and adjoining properties (including house numbers or names) and names of roads. It is not necessary to draw a scaled plan, it may be helpful to show other trees in the garden to help the LPA identify the trees on the form.  Artistic style is therefore not essential.
