Tree Preservation Orders TPO

We combine a highly developed understanding of relevant law with practical advice on tree management. 

Management of trees under statutory protection

Our advice in relation to trees under statutory protection is widely recognised as authoritative.

From routine tasks such as preparing applications for consent for pruning or felling, to TPO appeals representation, our clients find that we consistently achieve results, even in highly unpromising scenarios.

A key feature of our approach is to develop a strategy for success that keeps at least one step ahead of a contrary position.

Statutory tree protection

Such is his understanding of the law in this perhaps surprisingly complex area, including the maddening interplay between tree protection under the planning and forestry Acts, that in 2024 JFL delivered a lecture on this topic at the Tree Law Conference, Lincoln’s Inn.

We are frequently instructed in relation to prosecutions for unlawful removal of protected trees, assisting both local authorities and defendants in identifying the merits of a proposed prosecution or a line of defence, advising clients and Counsel accordingly, and presenting findings and conclusions at Expert Witness level in all relevant tribunals.
