A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is a legal protection placed on trees or groups of trees deemed to be of significant value to the local environment. These orders are put in place by local authorities to prevent the unnecessary removal, cutting, or damage to trees that contribute to the landscape or ecosystem. Similarly, trees located in Conservation Areas also have additional protection, meaning that even minor works to these trees require permission from the local planning authority.
