You must apply for our consent if you wish to
lop, top, fell or up-root a tree within a Conservation Area in
North Somerset.
These trees are generally treated in the same way as if they were
protected by a
tree preservation
order (TPO).
Therefore, you must apply for permission to carry out
any works on trees in these areas.
You must give us at least six weeks written notice before carrying
out such works.
However, there are certain exceptions, where a tree is dead or in a
dangerous condition, but you should always seek
our advice to make sure your proposed works are
acceptable.
For more information visit
the planning portal
website or contact
our Development
Management team.
