How to get a Tree Preserved

Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) are usually served when the tree/s are under some form of demonstrable threat e.g., threat of removal or being pruned inappropriately.

We require the request in writing to treeandcountryside@breckland.gov.uk this is no guarantee that this will result in a TPO being made. The information we require should include:

• Species - if known.
• Full address and postcode of the tree(s)
• A location plan, showing the tree(s) in relation to fixed structures.
• Photographs 
• Reasons why you feel that a TPO is necessary.

The Tree Officer will visit the site/tree to assess its suitability for a TPO.
