Tree Preservation Orders on Newton's Walk
The council has decided that the 3 trees on Newtonare nor’s Walk lining the garages leading up to the Women’s Institute are now covered by Tree Preservation Orders.
These Orders generally make it illegal to do any of the following to the trees covered by the order without formal, written permission from the Council:
cut it down
prune the branches or roots
uproot it
damage it in any other way
TPOs can be written due to the trees having special visual importance & protect the general public's enjoyment of the trees. They are particularly important when trees are in danger of being lost.
