Tree Preservation Polygons

A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is a part of town and country planning in the United Kingdom. A TPO is made by Sheffield Planning Authority to protect specific trees or a particular area, group or woodland from deliberate damage and destruction. TPOs can prevent the felling, lopping, topping, uprooting or otherwise willful damaging of trees without the permission of the Sheffield Planning Authority, although different TPOs have different degrees of protection.
