I have a bit of land at the back of my house that was bought recently. It
has a few trees in it and I think the new landowner wants to cut them
down.
Whats the score about tree preservation orders?

Pics at the link below, Myself & my neighbours really don't want to lose
these trees.

Thanks



The Planning Office keeps the records for those. (Seaclose)

A TPO can be made on a single tree or on a group of trees. It depends what
and where the site is and what it was as to whether any TPOs are applied at
all. If it was an 'open area' for the benefit of the community, there might
be a 'blanket TPO' on all trees on the site, even down to the saplings which
have sprung up since the original TPO. On the other hand, there may be
special trees in there which have individual TPOs on them. Talk to planning
and ask for their TPO man to come and visit. If you hear a chain saw start
up, get onto Planning straight away.

Trees can only be felled outside the Bird nesting period, so if you know
that birds are still nesting, then that will stop any activity. The fellers
can be fined if they ignore this fact and recognised and approved tree
surgeons are responsible enough to know what they are doing.

By the way, you cannot object to the removal of trees because they hide a
horrible sight from you.

Hope that helps.
