South Derbyshire District Council is the Local Planning Authority for this area, covering Swadlincote, Melbourne, Hilton, Repton and the villages of the National Forest area. It makes and holds the borough's Tree Preservation Orders.
With extensive new planting across the National Forest and a number of historic village conservation areas, tree protection here can come from several directions. Enter a postcode above for a first indication, then confirm with the council before work.
Because the available public data is incomplete and varies by council, a check here is guidance only. It cannot confirm the status of an individual tree.
Contact South Derbyshire District Council's tree officer to confirm both TPO and conservation area status for the specific address, and get written confirmation before any pruning, pollarding or felling.
A manual protected-tree check is worth considering where the public data is thin, where the property sits in a village conservation area, or where significant works or a sale depend on the answer. It means someone reviewing the council's sources for the exact address and confirming what they find.
Once the protection position is clear, a qualified, insured tree surgeon can carry out the work safely and help prepare 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.
