Our interactive map shows details of tree preservation orders and conservation areas. Within those areas, permission from the Council is usually required for any tree work.
The green areas indicate a conservation area and the purple areas indicate a tree preservation order (TPO). The purple areas are indicative only. For full details of a TPO, click the purple area and follow the popup link to access the TPO document.
