Theoretically, I think you
now need permission to fell a tree if its diameter is over a certain
size at some specified height of the ground.
In a Conservation Area you *notify* the Council that you intend to
fell or do work on the tree. They then have a period of time in which
to slap a TPO on it if they so wish.
not quite - all trees in a conservation area are automatically covered by
TPO rules ones above a set tronk dia at 1m.
You apply to the council to do work.
They have 6 weeks in which to respond to your application -
approve/reject/impose conditions.
If they do not respond in 6 weeks you can go ahead and do the work. Our
council do actually write to say the 6 weeks has elapsed and the work can
proceed.
