Protected trees in Bury
TPO trees need council permission, and conservation-area trees can also require advance notice
Bury Council protects trees through Tree Preservation Orders and conservation-area controls. Before pruning or felling, the legal status of the tree should be checked rather than assumed from its size or whether it stands on private land.
It is an offence to carry out unauthorised work to a TPO tree
Bury Council says a Tree Preservation Order gives a tree legal protection and makes it an offence to cut down, top, lop, uproot, wilfully damage or destroy it without council permission.
Conservation-area trees over the stated diameter threshold need notice
Bury Council says trees in conservation areas are protected where the trunk exceeds 7.5 centimetres in diameter at 1.5 metres above ground, or 10 centimetres where work is intended to help other trees grow. Notice must be given before work proceeds.
