Newark and Sherwood District Council is the Local Planning Authority for a large area including the market town of Newark-on-Trent, the minster town of Southwell, and the Sherwood Forest villages of Ollerton and Edwinstowe. It makes and holds the district's Tree Preservation Orders.
With historic town centres and the ancient woodland character of the Sherwood area, trees here are frequently protected. Enter a postcode above for a first indication, then confirm with the council.
The available public data is incomplete and varies between councils, so a check here is guidance only. It cannot confirm the status of an individual tree.
Contact Newark and Sherwood District Council's tree officer to confirm both TPO and conservation area status for the exact address, and get written confirmation before any tree work.
Across such a varied district — historic towns and wooded villages alike — a manual protected-tree check can be especially useful where the public data is unclear or significant works are planned. It means reviewing the council's sources for the specific address and confirming what they show.
Once the protection position is clear, a qualified, insured tree surgeon can carry out the work safely and help with any council application. Request a tree surgeon quote alongside a manual check using the buttons below.

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.
