03

Confirm before work starts

Use the result as a starting point, then confirm with your Local Planning Authority before any tree works.

Checking TPOs in the Ashfield district

Ashfield District Council is the Local Planning Authority for Sutton-in-Ashfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Hucknall and the surrounding area. It makes and holds the district's Tree Preservation Orders.

Enter a postcode above for a first indication from available public data, then confirm with the council before any pruning, pollarding or felling.

Why confirm with the council

Because the public data is incomplete and varies between councils, a check here is guidance only. A nearby record does not confirm a specific tree is protected, and a nil result does not rule protection out.

Contact Ashfield District Council's tree officer to confirm both TPO and conservation area status for the address, and get written confirmation before work begins.

When a manual check helps

A manual protected-tree check is worth considering where the public data is unclear, where the work is significant, or where a property transaction depends on the result. It means someone reviewing Ashfield District Council's sources for the specific address and confirming what they find.

Booking a tree surgeon

Once you know what consent, if any, is needed, a qualified, insured tree surgeon can carry out the work safely and assist with any council application. Request a tree surgeon quote alongside a manual check using the buttons below.

Request a manual check

Not sure what the result means?

Request a manual protected tree check before you prune, pollard or fell. We will review the available council sources for the specific address and confirm what we find.
