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.
Leicestershire's Tree Preservation Orders sit with the local councils, not a single county authority. Leicester City Council is a unitary authority for the city, while the surrounding districts and boroughs each manage TPOs for their own areas.
Use the checker above for an indication from available public data, then confirm with the council covering the property.
The relevant authority depends on the address, and could be:
- Leicester City Council for the city.
- Charnwood, around Loughborough.
- North West Leicestershire, Hinckley and Bosworth to the west.
- Harborough and Blaby to the south.
- Melton to the north-east, and Oadby and Wigston near the city.
Each keeps its own records, so coverage in the public data varies between them.
A check here reflects available public data, which is incomplete and differs by council, so it is guidance only. The authoritative answer comes from the Local Planning Authority for the specific Leicestershire address.
Ask that council's tree officer about both TPOs and conservation area status, and get written confirmation before any pruning, pollarding or felling.
Where the public data is unclear, where an address sits near a boundary, or where the stakes are high, a manual protected-tree check can give you a firmer answer. It involves reviewing the relevant Leicestershire council's sources for the exact property and confirming what they show.
Relevant authority: Leicester City Council and the district/borough councils of Leicestershire.
Councils that may hold TPO records here:
- Leicester City Council
- Charnwood Borough Council
- North West Leicestershire District Council

- Melton Borough Council
- Oadby and Wigston Borough Council
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.
