Walsall protected-tree checks
Tree work may need council approval before a saw is used
Walsall has a large number of Tree Preservation Orders and 18 conservation areas. A competent tree surgeon should check whether statutory protection applies before pruning or felling starts.
The borough has more than 900 Tree Preservation Orders
Walsall Council says the borough currently has over 900 TPOs. A tree protected by a TPO cannot be felled or pruned without consent except in limited circumstances, so the exact property and tree position should be checked before work is booked.
Conservation-area and TPO applications run on different timescales
Walsall says it has six weeks to determine a conservation-area tree application and eight weeks for a TPO application. The council also advises tree owners to contact the planning authority before work to establish whether protection applies.
