How it works
Enter a postcode
Type in the postcode for the property. We use it to find the location — no account or sign-up needed.
Check available TPO data
We search available public datasets for Tree Preservation Order records that may be near that location.
Confirm before work starts
Use the result as a starting point, then confirm with your Local Planning Authority before any tree works.
Derbyshire is not served by a single tree authority. Tree Preservation Orders are made and held by the district, borough and city councils across the county — and, in the uplands, by the Peak District National Park Authority. That means the right place to confirm a TPO depends on exactly where the property sits.
Use the checker above for a first indication from available public data, then confirm with the specific council that covers the address.
Tree work in Derbyshire could fall under any of several authorities, each holding its own TPO records:
- Erewash, Amber Valley, South Derbyshire, Derbyshire Dales, High Peak, North East Derbyshire, Bolsover and Chesterfield at district or borough level.
- Derby City Council as a unitary authority for the city.
- The Peak District National Park Authority for land within the national park.
Each can hold different data in a different format, so a record for one area will not necessarily appear in another's published map.
Because the public data is incomplete and varies by council, a check here is guidance only. The authoritative answer for a Derbyshire property comes from the council — or national park authority — that covers it.
Contact that authority's tree officer, ask about both TPOs and conservation area status for the specific address, and get written confirmation before any pruning, pollarding or felling.
If the public data is unclear, if the property sits near a council boundary, or if you are planning significant works, a manual protected-tree check can save time and risk. That means a person reviewing the relevant Derbyshire council's sources for the exact address and confirming what they find.
It is particularly worth doing where a property sale or a costly job depends on the answer.
Relevant authority: Multiple district, borough and city councils across Derbyshire.

Council data may vary
Each council publishes its Tree Preservation Order data differently, and some hold records only in their own offices. Always check the official council sources and confirm with the Local Planning Authority before tree works.
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.
