If you have a question about our services or wish advice on whether a tree should be pruned or removed, please get in touch.
How long does it take to gain consent to prune/cut down a tree covered by a TPO?
Depending on the local authority and the amount of backlog it can take up to 6 weeks.
My neighbour is cutting branches from my trees that hang over his property and throwing them back over to my side is this legal?
It is legal for neighbouring properties to cut overhanging branches back to the boundary line but no further. However, the law states that they should ask for your permission to dispose of the waste material. Throwing waste material back onto your property is actually classed as trespassing. If the trees are protected by a T.P.O (tree preservation order), no branches can be removed without consent from the local authority.
