Tree preservation orders (TPOs) are used to protect selected trees and woodlands if their removal would have a significant impact on the environment and its enjoyment by the public. Priority for tree preservation orders is generally given to trees which are considered to be under threat, for example where development is proposed. View our TPO register.
