Pruning a tree with a TPO
Is it OK to prune a tree with a preservation order on it? Does it need a special permit or a specialist to do it?
Expert Trade Answers
"You need to get permission from your council and they will send a tree officer out to see if it needs doing they are very strict on any work been done on trees with a TPO. And if they do allow you I would recommend get a professional in just so nothing can come back on you. Otherwise you could end up with a hefty fine"
