Do you require permission from the local Council to fell a tree in your
own
garden? Is there preservation orders on some types of trees, or it is
every
tree? Just curious, as my neighbour is applying to Council, and wondered
if it was absolutely necessary. (Tree in question - huge Cedar)

Down here there is a presumption that permission should be sought if the
diameter of the tree is above a certain amount (30cm I think) or if you are
in a conservation area or a preservation order applies. but I think it
varies a good bit between local authorities.

Sorry but you are wrong. The rules are the same across all of England and
Wales with the exceptions that I mentioned. They may be different within
National Parks.

not quite - all trees in a conservation area are automatically covered by
TPO rules ones above a set tronk dia at 1m.

You apply to the council to do work.

They have 6 weeks in which to respond to your application -
approve/reject/impose conditions.

If they do not respond in 6 weeks you can go ahead and do the work. Our
council do actually write to say the 6 weeks has elapsed and the work can
proceed.

Please do NOT give this 'blanket' advice As they say in the Senior Service
'Different Ships, Different Cap tallies'. Different Councils operate
different rules.

Just for the record you can have problems even with new planted
saplings. I live in a new built Barrats development ( OK sad). Nothing
here is more than 4 years old. However there is a "restrictive
covenant" on the land and you cannot remove any tree that appears on
the site plans. Plant it yourself and you can remove it but if it is
on the plans you need permission form the local development
corporation / council. This is not a leasehold issue. They are
perfectly reasonable about it all and will allow felling if you have a
reason , one case where a tree was dying they sent out their inspector
and he said OK and then said do you want to cut that one near the
house as it will undermine foundations in a few years.

There is a slight matter of .... 'Interpretation'
