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.
High Peak Borough Council is the Local Planning Authority for towns such as Buxton, Glossop, New Mills and Whaley Bridge. As with the Dales, part of the borough lies inside the Peak District National Park, where the Peak District National Park Authority is the relevant authority for tree protection.
Use the checker above for a first indication, then confirm with whichever authority covers the specific property.
Tree protection in the High Peak can sit with either body depending on the location:
- High Peak Borough Council for land outside the national park.
- The Peak District National Park Authority for land inside it.
Each holds its own records, so confirm which one applies to the address before relying on any single source.
A check here is guidance only — the available public data is incomplete and varies by authority. For a reliable answer, contact the relevant tree officer, ask about both TPOs and conservation area status, and get written confirmation before any pruning, pollarding or felling.
Because the park boundary affects this area, a manual protected-tree check is a sensible step — it confirms the right authority and the records held for the specific address. Request one, with a tree surgeon quote if needed, using the buttons below.
Relevant authority: High Peak Borough Council (and the Peak District National Park Authority for land within the park).
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.
