4. On the left, select 'Show layers', then 'TPOs & ConsAreas' to the left of the screen, as shown below. Things to note:

  • Red hatchings on the map indicate TPO areas.
  • Blue hatchings on the map indicate conservation areas.

We advise you to uncheck the Tree Preservation Orders box so you can see clearly if there are any blue hatchings, which would indicate that your property is in a conservation area.

If there are no red or blue hatchings in the location you search for or no TPO/conservation area data when you select your property, this indicates you are not in a conservation area or the tree is not subject to a TPO. 

 

If you live in a conservation area and are planning changes to your property

If you live in a conservation area, works to your property may be subject to an Article 4 direction. This means that any works that change the external appearance of a building, or affects its grounds may require planning permission - even if they would normally be allowed under permitted development.

If you are not sure if your home is in a conservation area, please use the map above or contact us before starting any building work.
