"If it is your tree council permission is not required unless the tree has a TPO on it.
If the tree is owned by the council, then their permission would be required."

"Yes tree work can be carried out in most cases without council permission, basic principle is if it’s your tree it is yours to do with. Council will need to be contacted over TPOs/ trees on council land/ etc."

"No, you do not always require permission from the local authority to carry out work on your trees, you will require permission if you live in a conservation area or the trees are protected by a tree preservation order. Always check where you live and look on the free available maps online and it is always best to check first."
