Solihull protected-tree context
Solihull's TPO system and 20 conservation areas mean protection checks should come before cutting
Solihull Council says Tree Preservation Orders can protect individual trees, groups or woodlands, and confirms the borough has 20 conservation areas where qualifying trees receive automatic protection. A routine-looking pruning job can therefore need formal consent or prior notice.
TPO trees need council authority before pruning or removal
The council says it is an offence to cut down, top, lop, uproot, wilfully damage or destroy a tree protected by a Tree Preservation Order without authority. Check the council's conservation and TPO map before agreeing the scope or assuming emergency access is enough.
Trees in conservation areas receive automatic protection above the stated size threshold
Solihull Council says the borough has 20 conservation areas and that trees over 75mm diameter measured 1.5m above ground are automatically protected within them. Proposed work must be notified to the Local Planning Authority so it can consider whether a TPO is needed.
