Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) are an enigma for many clients, often leading to undue concern over the retention or management of TPO trees. We have members of staff with in-depth experience as LPA tree officers (amongst other things) creating and administering TPOs as well as dealing with breaches of TPOs and prosecutions. The services we provide include:

• Preparation and submission of TPO applications and Conservation Area notifications
• Submission of notices for the removal of trees exempt from TPOs
• Negotiation with Tree or Planning Officers
• Detailed advice on TPO procedures
• Objecting to the creation of new TPOs
• Representing clients at TPO confirmation committee meetings
• Responding to TPO breach allegations
• Representing clients as professional witnesses in prosecution hearings
• Support with compensation claims should failure occur after consent for works is refused
