Tree work can change dramatically if the tree is protected, access is poor or branches need controlled lowering over buildings or boundaries.
- Send photos from several angles including the base and surrounding access.
- Check TPO and conservation-area status before work begins.
- Say whether timber, branches, chips and the stump should be removed.
- Mention sheds, conservatories, cables, roads and neighbouring property below the crown.

Sheffield protected-tree rules
Tree Preservation Orders and conservation-area notice can control work before a saw is used
Sheffield City Council protects trees through Tree Preservation Orders and conservation-area controls. TPO work normally needs written consent, while qualifying trees in a conservation area require six weeks' notice before work begins unless an exception applies.
TPO consent is required for protected-tree work
Sheffield City Council says it is an offence to cut down, top, lop, uproot, wilfully damage or destroy a tree protected by a TPO without written consent, subject to limited exceptions. Give the tree surgeon the exact address and a clear work specification so protected status and the consent route can be checked before a start date is agreed.

Qualifying conservation-area trees require six weeks' notice
For trees in a conservation area with a trunk diameter of 75mm or more when measured 1.5 metres above ground, Sheffield normally requires six weeks' notice before pruning, removal or root-severance work. The council can use that period to consider whether a TPO should protect the tree.

Show the tree, boundaries and access route
