In some cases, you may need permission from your local council to remove or prune a tree, particularly if it is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or located within a Conservation Area. It's important to check with your local council for any specific regulations or guidelines before undertaking any tree work. Failure to obtain the necessary permissions can result in fines or legal action. Our team at Cheshire Tree Guys can assist you in navigating the process and obtaining any required permits.
