Checking TPOs 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.

Why local confirmation matters

The public data we search is incomplete and varies by council, so a check here is guidance only. A record appearing near a property does not confirm a specific tree is protected, and a nil result does not confirm it is not.

For a reliable answer in Erewash, contact the council's tree officer, ask about both TPOs and conservation area status for the exact address, and get written confirmation before booking work.

When to request a manual check

If the public data is unclear, if you are planning significant works, or if a property sale depends on the answer, a manual protected-tree check is worth requesting. It means someone reviewing Erewash Borough Council's sources for the specific address and confirming what they find — so you are not relying on a partial dataset.

Getting a tree surgeon quote

Once you know what consent, if any, is needed, the next step is usually a qualified, insured tree surgeon. A good local arborist can advise on the work, help describe it for any council application, and carry it out safely.

You can request a tree surgeon quote alongside a manual check using the buttons below — both go to the same simple form.

Not sure what the result means?
