Bromley protected-tree rules
The borough maintains records for more than 2,000 Tree Preservation Orders and separately protects trees in conservation areas. A routine-looking prune can therefore need an address check before a start date is agreed.
The council says there are currently over 2,000 TPOs in Bromley and provides an interactive map for checking protected trees. Permission is normally required before pruning or felling a tree covered by an order, subject to limited exceptions.

Bromley's tree guidance says anyone planning to cut down or carry out work to a tree in a conservation area must give the council six weeks' notice. Tell the tree surgeon about conservation status early so the notice period can be built into the timing.
