Tree Cutting Permission – What UK Homeowners Must Know
Tree Cutting Permission – What UK Homeowners Must Know
Tree Cutting Permission Explained
Tree cutting permission rules can be confusing, particularly in relation to conservation areas and Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs). At JJ and B Tree Care, we help homeowners across Bromley, Orpington, and Kent understand what is and isn’t allowed.
Tree Cutting Permission for TPO Trees
If your tree is protected by a TPO, tree cutting permission from the council is required for any work. Cutting without approval may result in significant fines.
Tree Cutting Permission in Conservation Areas
If your property sits within a conservation area, you must notify the council before carrying out any work on trees above the minimum trunk diameter.
Boundary Issues and Neighbour Trees
You can trim branches overhanging your boundary, but tree cutting permission may still be required if the tree is protected. You must return any removed branches to the tree owner to avoid disputes.

If you’re unsure whether you need tree cutting permission, our experienced team can manage applications, liaise with the council, and ensure the work is completed safely and legally.
