What does a tree preservation order mean?
A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is made by the local planning authority (usually a local council) to protect specific trees or particular woodland from deliberate damage and destruction. TPOs prevent the felling, lopping, topping, uprooting or otherwise wilful damaging of trees without the permission of the local planning authority.
