We aim not to fell healthy trees where possible.

We may consider removing a tree if it:

• presents a significant risk to the public or property, for example following a storm
• is dying or suffering from a disease

How we tell people about upcoming tree felling

Before a tree is felled, we will attach a Tree Felling Notice to it in advance. This will explain why we're removing it, any additional information such as consultations and plans for replanting.

The Tree Felling Notice includes: 

• the location of the tree
• tree species
• start date, duration and time of works
• tree reference notice
• reasons for felling
• if a tree assessment has been completed
• if there's a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) on the tree and a TPO reference number if there is one
• if it's in a conservation area 
• if there's been a consultation
