Protected Trees

This dataset shows the location of Tree Preservation Orders in the City of London, A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is an Order made by the City of London and can apply to a single tree, a group of trees or a woodland. A TPO may be made by a local authority if it appears expedient in the interests of amenity to make provision for the preservation of the trees. The Order gives legal protection against a tree being cut down, topped, lopped, uprooted, wilfully damaged or wilfully destroyed. It is an offence to cut down any part of a tree which is the subject of a TPO including cutting the roots, without first obtaining consent from the Local Planning Authority.
