Reporting unauthorised work to a protected tree

If you see works being carried out that you think may be unauthorised, contact the planning department.

It will help our enforcement action if, without putting yourself at risk, you can get:

• photographs
• details of the contractor

Prosecution for unauthorised work

If work is carried out on a protected tree without permission the owner, or person carrying out the work, may be prosecuted and fined up to £20,000.
