Protected trees in Bootle
Derby Park is a Bootle conservation area, and qualifying tree work there requires the same protection checks as elsewhere in Sefton
Bootle includes the Derby Park Conservation Area immediately east of the town centre. Before pruning or felling, the exact address should be checked for both conservation-area status and any Tree Preservation Order.
TPO-protected trees need Sefton Council's permission before work
Sefton Council says it is an offence to cut down, lop, uproot, wilfully damage or destroy a tree protected by a Tree Preservation Order without permission, unless a specific exemption applies.
Trees in conservation areas normally require six weeks' notice
Sefton says qualifying work to trees in a conservation area requires six weeks' notice. Derby Park is one of Sefton's conservation areas, so the location should be checked before agreeing a start date.

Check protection before agreeing a start date
A garden tree in Netherton, mature trees near Derby Park and work close to a boundary in Litherland may have different access and permission issues. Give the tree surgeon the exact address early.
Do not confuse ownership with permission to prune. Even a tree on private land can be protected. If branches overhang from a neighbour's land, permission issues and protected-tree consent should be resolved before work begins.
