Planning, building and the environment

---

Summary

This consultation paper seeks comments on the proposals to consolidate the legal provisions currently contained in regulations and tree preservation orders (TPOs) in England into one set of new regulations. At the same time we propose to introduce revisions to streamline the TPO system and make it a fairer system which is easier for tree owners to use.

These changes are intended to reduce the administrative burden of the TPO system, particularly on local planning authorities, and increase accessibility to a more equitable system.
