Tree Preservation Orders are made by a Planning
Authority under Part V111 of the Town and
Country Planning Act 1990 in England and Wales
or Section 160 of the Town and Country Planning
(Scotland) Act 1997 in Scotland and within the
procedures set out in the Town and Country
Planning (Trees) Regulations 1999 (England and
Wales) or the Town and Country Planning (Tree
Preservation Order and Trees in Conservation
Areas) (Scotland) Regulations 1975-84. They are
an effective means of protecting individual trees,
groups of trees or woodlands whose removal
would have significant impact on the public
amenity of an area. They form a legal constraint
permanently attached to the title of the land
where the trees are located. Individual trees are
represented by a point and groups of trees are
represented by a polygon. Upon accessing this
