NYMNPA Tree Preservation Orders - Woodland Areas

A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is a legally enforceable order made by the Local Planning Authority, in this case the NPA, to protect trees and woodland in the interests of public amenity. The power to make a TPO is currently contained in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Town and Country (Tree Preservation) (England) Regulations 2012. Wilful damage or destruction is prohibited. Work to a tree protected by a TPO is prohibited without prior permission from the Local Planning Authority (NPA), although there are a number of exceptions to this. To view the complete TPO register this layer should be used in conjunction with the NYMNPA Tree Preservation Orders - Individual Trees layer.树木保护令（Tree Preservation Order，TPO）是由地方规划主管部门制定的具有法律强制执行力的命令，就本次而言其制定主体为NPA，旨在为保障公共休闲利益而保护树木与林地。制定TPO的权力目前载于《1990年城乡规划法》以及《2012年城乡规划（英格兰树木保护）条例》之中。故意损坏或损毁受保护树木的行为均被禁止。未经地方规划主管部门（NPA）事先许可，不得对受TPO保护的树木开展相关作业，但存在若干例外情形。 如需查看完整的TPO登记册，需将本图层与NYMNPA树木保护令——单棵树木图层结合使用。
