Check Tree Preservation Orders in Erewash

Erewash Borough Council is the Local Planning Authority for this part of Derbyshire, covering Long Eaton, Ilkeston, Sandiacre, Sawley and the villages around them. It is the body that makes and holds Tree Preservation Orders for the area.

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

Not yet. As of July 2026, Erewash Borough Council has not published any Tree Preservation Order records to the national planning.data.gov.uk dataset this checker searches — so a blank map for a Long Eaton or Ilkeston postcode is the expected result, and it tells you nothing about whether a tree is actually protected. The council's orders exist; they are simply held in its own register rather than the national one.

The national dataset does list 22 conservation areas for Erewash, which matter because trees inside them can be protected even without a TPO. For the definitive TPO position, ask Erewash Borough Council directly — its register covers everywhere from the Trent-side streets of Long Eaton and Sawley to Ilkeston, Sandiacre and the villages between Nottingham and Derby.

Because Erewash's TPO records are not in the national data, an automated search cannot settle the question here — the borough council's own register is where a Tree Preservation Order can be confirmed, and the report says so rather than implying otherwise.

What it adds for a Long Eaton or Ilkeston address is the published half of the picture: conservation areas, Article 4 directions and listed buildings, checked against the exact property, with the TPO position and how to confirm it with the council set out in a dated PDF. Worth having before significant works, or before exchange on a purchase.
