Tree preservation order (applications, objections and appeals)
A tree preservation order (TPO) should not prevent sensible management of the trees or woodlands that they protect. The owner of the trees is still responsible for them and still liable for any problems or actions arising from defects, diseases or damage. The owner of the protected tree has the same duty of care as any other tree owner and is expected to manage their trees in a reasonable manner.
Technical Arboriculture has been involved with thousands of TPO applications and can provide our clients with clear information on the health and risk management of their trees and make a formal application on our client’s behalf. This means that our clients are clear about what work is required and that the application will provide the correct, clear information to the local planning authority.
It is not uncommon for disagreements to occur between the local planning authority and the tree owner with regard to what work is acceptable or reasonable. In these situations Technical Arboriculture can give expert tree advice to the tree owner on various aspects of tree law and procedures in relation to tree preservation orders. We can also make representations to the local planning authority; make formal objections to new tree preservation orders and act as our client’s expert witness in appeal proceedings against refusal of an application for tree work.
