Some trees have Tree Preservation Orders (TPO) on them made under The Town & Country Planning Act 1990 and The Town & Country Planning (Trees) Regulations 1999. This means permission is needed from the local council before any work is to be carried out on them. Cut & Clear Tree Services Ltd works closely with the council and are able to apply for consent on your behalf, saving you the hassle.
The Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 makes it an offence to disturb a bird’s nest which is in use. This means nests under construction, with eggs, chicks or birds using it regularly. Therefore, an inspection of the tree / hedge should be done before any work is carried out. If a nest is found in use the job will be put back until it is no longer in use.
