Tree Removal Permits in Dorset, Devon & Somerset: What You Need to Know

Before removing a tree, you must check for Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or Conservation Area restrictions. These legal protections exist to preserve trees with public or environmental value.

Tips:

• Do contact your local council’s planning team before starting work.

• Don’t assume private land means free removal rights—protected trees still apply.

• Do ask us for help—we can handle the application process on your behalf.

By following the proper process, you’ll avoid fines and ensure your work is fully compliant.
