Newcastle protected-tree rules
TPOs and conservation-area trees need checking before work starts
Newcastle City Council protects trees through Tree Preservation Orders, conservation-area controls and planning conditions. The council maintains an online protected-tree register and says unauthorised work to a protected tree is a criminal offence.
A TPO tree needs council permission before work
Newcastle City Council says that if a tree is covered by a Tree Preservation Order you must apply for permission before carrying out work. The council's online register and mapping information can be used to check protected status before accepting a start date.

Conservation-area trees normally need six weeks' notice
Newcastle City Council says trees with a trunk diameter of 75mm or more are protected in a conservation area and that six weeks' notice must normally be given before work to a tree that is not already covered by a TPO. Newcastle currently has 12 conservation areas, so address checks matter.
