Whats the score about tree preservation orders?

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

Thanks


Anyone can apply to the council for a tree preservation order to be
imposed. They then usually impose a short term order, then on
investigation decide if it should stay of be rescinded.
Be aware though that tree preservation orders are very restrictive. For
example if the tree canopy is over your property you have to apply to
the council for permission to do any work beneath that canopy, such as
erect a shed, or make a pond. Of course TPOs do not apply to the
council themselves, or rich developers, the latter simply ignore them
and pay the fines, they can afford them!
