  • Thank you for your enquiry.

    You may prune unprotected trees and hedges overhanging your land, and the roots growing beneath your land, up to your boundary.

    You don't need our permission to do this, but you mustn't trespass onto our land

    You will need to make formal application to the local planning authority before working on trees protected by tree preservation orders or growing in conservation areas.

    Remember that you have a duty of care. If any work you do, or ask others to do for you, kills a tree or makes it dangerous, you may be held liable for criminal damage.
