A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) can protect trees and woodlands which have a significant impact on the local environment. A TPO is designed to safeguard trees against cutting down, destruction, or carrying out of inappropriate works. Many trees in Hillingdon are also protected by virtue of their location within a conservation area which are areas of special architectural or historical interest.
You will need our consent before cutting down or carrying out work to any trees protected by a TPO, the application form and guidance can be found on our website.
