Tree Preservation Order checker for Harrow
Check whether a tree near your address may be covered by a Tree Preservation Order in Harrow. London Borough of Harrow has not published its TPO register to the national planning dataset, so a postcode search cannot confirm one either way — this page explains what it can tell you, and how to check with the council.

How it works
How to check if a tree has a TPO.
01Search the postcode
We find the location and plot every published TPO zone nearby on a map.
02Read the distance
Zones are shown by distance, not yes or no. Anything within 100 m deserves a closer look.
03Confirm with the council
Your Local Planning Authority has the final word. Get it in writing before work starts.
Reading a result
A blank result isn’t a clear one.
A Tree Preservation Order protects a named tree, group or woodland, and you need written consent before pruning, felling, topping, lopping or uprooting it. Every published TPO zone near your postcode is drawn on the map with its distance from the property.
Trees in a conservation area can be protected even where no TPO is shown, and council coverage of the national dataset is uneven — so your Local Planning Authority must confirm the status of any tree before work begins.

Where trees are protected without a TPO
Because London Borough of Harrow has published no Tree Preservation Order zones, a postcode check in Harrow has none of this council's orders to search. A result showing nothing found is therefore not evidence that a tree is unprotected — it means the data is not public, and only the council's own register can answer the question.
London Borough of Harrow has published 27 conservation areas nationally. That matters here: trees in a conservation area are protected whether or not a TPO exists, and you must normally give the council six weeks' written notice before doing work to one. The paid report checks conservation areas, Article 4 directions and listed-building curtilage for a specific address alongside TPOs.

Common questions
Before you pick up the saw.
Does London Borough of Harrow publish its Tree Preservation Orders?
Not to the national planning dataset. As of 30 July 2026, London Borough of Harrow had published no Tree Preservation Order zones there, which means a national postcode search has none of its orders to look at. That is a gap in published data, not an indication that few trees in Harrow are protected — the council still holds its own register.
If the checker finds nothing in Harrow, is the tree safe to cut?
No — and in Harrow a clear result carries even less weight, because London Borough of Harrow publishes no TPO records nationally for the checker to find. Treat it as "unknown", not "unprotected". Working on a protected tree without consent is a criminal offence, so confirm with the council first.
How do I check whether a tree in Harrow is protected?
Start with a free postcode check above to see any published records nearby and any conservation area affecting the address. Then confirm with London Borough of Harrow, which holds the definitive register for Harrow and can tell you whether a specific tree is covered. If you need the result in writing — for a sale, a quote or a planning application — the paid report sets out the checks for one address in a dated PDF.
Are trees in Harrow conservation areas protected?
Yes. Trees in a conservation area are protected without needing a Tree Preservation Order, and you must normally give the council six weeks' written notice before pruning or felling one. London Borough of Harrow had published 27 conservation areas to the national dataset as of 30 July 2026, so this is often the protection that applies where no TPO shows up.
