Protecting trees
There are 155 Tree Preservation Orders in Eden district.
A tree preservation order (TPO) is a legally enforceable order. It protects designated trees, groups of trees or woodlands against damage or removal.
Protection of retained trees during development provides information on common damage to trees, and also information on root systems and their protection.
Conservation areas are designated by the Local Planning Authority in areas of special architectural or historic interest.
Trees that are protected by Tree Preservation Orders, or are located in Conservation Areas, may not be pruned, lopped, or felled, without appropriate consent.
