What are Protected Trees?
Protected trees are those located within any of the City's 25 conservation areas or are independently protected by a Tree Preservation Order. Trees may also be protected on a case by case basis if covered by specific conditions attached to planning approval for development work. Any species of tree may be protected, including hedge trees but not bushes or shrubs.
With good maintenance, management and protection of existing trees and encouragement to plant new trees, the council hopes to ensure a good quality, diverse tree cover throughout the City.
