Protected trees in Enfield
TPO trees need formal consent, while conservation-area tree work normally requires six weeks' notice
Enfield has extensive protected tree stock and 22 conservation areas. Before pruning or felling, the legal status of the tree should be checked rather than assumed from its size or location.
Enfield requires consent for work to TPO-protected trees
Enfield Council says formal consent is required for pruning or removing a tree protected by a Tree Preservation Order. Protected status can also arise through a conservation area or specific planning conditions.
Conservation-area notifications normally require six weeks before work begins
For qualifying trees in a conservation area, Enfield says a notification must be submitted and six weeks' notice given before work starts. TPO applications may take up to eight weeks for an outcome.

Check protection before agreeing a start date
A garden tree in Enfield Lock, mature trees in Winchmore Hill and work near one of Enfield's conservation areas may have different permissions. 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.
