The Importance of Tree Preservation Orders

Tree Preservation Orders

Discover the importance of tree preservation orders with Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd in the Manchester and Stockport areas.

The Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is put in place by the local planning authorities and protects specific trees in certain areas. With numerous procedures banned under the TPO, Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd have gone into each section and is making the many aware of what to do if you have a tree under protection laws.

How Does The TPO Protect Trees?

A lot of trees all over Manchester are protected by TPO’s because they are in conservation areas or they are part of a protected species. When a certain tree is covered by a TPO, before any work is carried out it must be approved by the local councils and the planning authority.

If you do not get permission to work on those trees protected, you are legally not allowed to work on them. If you do, you could face serious fines up to £20,000.

What Does A TPO Stop Tree Owners from Doing?

According to GOV.UK, a tree preservation order prohibits the owner from:

  • Cutting down
  • Topping
  • Lopping
  • Uprooting
  • Wilful damage
  • Wilful destruction

Information is taken from GOV.UK.

If you are an owner of a protected tree and want to maintain your tree properly, you need written consent. With the government encouraging tree maintenance, you can rely on our team to provide the necessary services you need to keep a healthy tree without breaking the law.

National Planning Policy Framework for England

Since 2010 when the government first made changes to the planning system, the National Planning Policy Framework has been altered and compiled into more than a thousand pages called the NPPF.

When you make an application to work a TPO tree or woodland area, the council will consult this policy and make judgements on “future development of the area, addressing needs and opportunities in relation to housing, the economy, community facilities and infrastructure – as well as a basis for safeguarding the environment, adapting to climate change and securing good design” Woodland Trust.

Trees with TPO’s

If a tree already has a Tree Preservation Order and someone is wanting to carry out felling work on that tree, they need to apply for an application to the local council to do so. Trafford Council offers advice on tree preservation orders and work with planning authorities to ensure that important trees are protected at all times.

They apply TPO’s to trees that are under threat and only if the tree looks “healthy and stable, is visible from a public place and its removal would significantly harm the appearance of the area”.

TPO’s and Site Clearance Services

If you are planning on developing a site that has a tree with an active TPO, you will need planning permissions to do so. If the planning permissions are approved for the development, this overrides the TPO and site clearance can then begin.

Our team quite often carry out work on TPO trees and can provide professional guidance on what steps to take with yours.

We always work towards Tree Preservation Orders set out by the Government, to ensure that all protected trees are not damaged, removed or coppiced.

How to Care for Your Trees During the Summer

Tree Felling

Now that British summer is well and truly here, Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd are on hand to give you some quick tips on how to care for your trees properly.

Making sure your trees and hedges are cared for properly during the summer months fall down to maintenance contracts from our team. However, if you are feeling green fingered yourself and want to help out then below are some vital tips to follow whether it’s trimming, inspecting for pests, watering or just general care of your trees.

Pruning Techniques

Taking care of your trees includes pruning on a regular basis. With the hot weather bringing a lot more growth in trees and hedges of all species, it pays to pay attention to the sprouting twigs, branches and leaf growth before they take over your property.

Although we suggest that the majority of tree pruning and trimming should take place in dormant seasons of winter and autumn, you will have to keep on top of the growth during summer and spring. Keep an eye out as well for dead branches, diseased areas and any concerns you may have about your tree for not only the health and safety of your tree but for those surrounding also. We also suggest that any tree you may have that will flower in the summer, is pruned just before in the springtime, so act fast!

Call us today for professional pruning that takes care of your tree without damaging its aesthetics.

Pest Inspections

As well as extra growth, trees in the summer are prone to pest infestations. Although most insects are not overly harmful to trees and hedges, they can be a nuisance to surrounding greenery and also you and your family. Certain pests that do come out when the sun shines include bagworms, beetles, spiders and ants which can all be identified by our team of expert arborists.

Regular tree maintenance can be taken care of by our team so that you can get the tree management services your trees need to stay healthy for longer.

Irrigation Issues

We all know how much water we need when it’s hot and our trees are no different. Whether they are aged trees or newly planted, they still need the care and attention anything would need when the heat exceeds normal temperatures.

“A general rule of thumb is to apply 10 gallons of water for every inch of trunk diameter when you water”, MRT.

Fertilisation

Another way that our team take care of trees throughout the summer is by making sure they have enough support in nutrition for leaf growth, shoots, branches and to fight off pests themselves. Without the nutrition they need to survive they can be more prone to diseases and spread throughout other greenery in the area.

If your tree is growing in a high-stress area, i.e. one without much water or growth indication, you could struggle to keep its health high and the appearance suitable.

Top 3 Reasons to Hire a Tree Surgeon in Manchester

Tree Pruning

Are you considering hiring a tree surgeon for your home or commercial property but you’re not sure why or what to look for?

You’re not alone! Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd are inundated with calls from unsure clients that need a little reassurance with their trees and hedges. As experts in our field and the obvious choice for the Manchester and Stockport area, we will let you in on the top three reasons why you need a tree surgeon and why you need to call us!

Safety Is Key

When dealing with trees of a great height, hedges of a protected species and any heavy duty garden machinery, safety is key. As our main concern when dealing with all projects, regardless of size, we take safety very seriously and work in various high-risk environments every day. Being fully trained to NPTC and Lantra standards for your safety and ours, you get complete peace of mind using our services and excellent results every time.

Being highly trained in our field and knowing which safety procedures to follow at all times, we are the most viable solution when dealing with trees or hedges of any size. Removing any growth on your own can be a hazard within itself, to not only you but also surrounding properties and the passing public. So why risk it?

Quality Over Quantity

Anyone can get hold of a bulldozer and knock down a whole forest within seconds but is that really what you are looking for at your commercial property or your home address?

With years of experience and the ability to safely and accurately attend to certain trees and hedges, Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd are able to provide quality services rather than quality at half the expectation. Hiring professionals gives you the guarantee that you will get a quality tree surgery service every time which is exactly what you are looking for when you are looking for tree surgeons.

Amateur pruners are easily spotted. If you hire an amateur tree feller or surgeon, you will expect to have an eyesore at your property that is not only visually unpleasant but also dangerous.

We’re Not Just Tree Surgeons

One of the biggest perks when hiring our team as your tree surgeon is that we are so much more than just tree surgeons. With the ability to do so much more than just remove dead trees and hedges, you can count on us for a wide range of arboricultural services including:

We value that all trees are a vital part of our environment and that they hold different purposes for both domestic and commercial land owners. It is imperative that you take care of your trees and with our assistance, you don’t have to lift a finger to keep your property and your trees safe.

We are far from your average gardeners, so give us a call today to get the services you need at the times that suit you best.
