Support with domestic abuse

If you are experiencing domestic abuse, help is available. Major sporting events can be a difficult time for some people. If you are worried about your own safety, or that of someone you know, confidential support and advice are available on our domestic abuse page.

Trees and planning applications

You should submit a tree survey for trees within or adjacent to a planning application site. An arboriculturist should carry out the survey and record information about the trees on a site. The plans and particulars should be in accordance with British Standard 5837: 2012 - Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction - Recommendations.

Read a summary of our requirements in the tree surveys and protection during development guidance.

We will assess the impact of the development on the trees, and we may protect them by a Tree Preservation Order, or by a condition to ensure their protection during development and future retention.
