Sometimes trees can be ‘protected’, which means they’re covered by a protection order managed by the local council. If the tree is protected, once you have sent your application to us, we will then need to send your application on to the local council. This is because they need to give permission for any work to be carried out on protected trees, even if it’s minor.

You don’t have to do anything further if the tree is protected, as we will pass your application on to the council ourselves, but there may be a further delay to your application while the council review it.

The owner of a tree is usually the owner of the land the tree grows on. You don't have to own a tree to apply for consent, but you do need the owner’s permission for work to be carried out.

If the tree is owned by us, you only need to complete this form to apply for consent. We cannot carry out works on trees we don’t own.

Please upload a sketch plan. This is a simple, bird's eye view of the property showing where the trees are. It should show the property boundaries, the properties in the area around the tree (including house numbers or names) and the names of roads. You don’t need to draw a scaled plan, but it may be useful to show approximate distances between the tree(s) in question and other relevant features. If possible, include an arrow showing north. Please show the position of the tree(s) in relation to buildings.

Please number individual trees T1, T2, T3. If the trees are in groups of more than five, please number them G1, G2, G3 etc. Please note: if you do not upload a sketch plan, it will add several weeks to the time it takes to process your application because we will need to gather additional information before we can make a decision.
