Tree Preservation orders

Call us if you would like to find out if you have a tree with a preservation order on it or you think a tree should be protected. If you want to do work on a protected tree use the Tree Work application form below.

Details

We have specific powers, under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, to protect trees by making tree preservation orders. To warrant a TPO a tree should make a significant impact on its local surroundings. An order can protect any type of tree.

There are currently over 2000 TPOs in Bromley. We maintain records of protected trees and can advise whether or not a tree is protected.

Special provisions also apply to trees in Conservation Areas.

Next Steps

To request permission to carry out work on a protected tree or a tree in a Conservation Area use the application for tree works form.
