This data, showing the positions of all trees and groups of trees which are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) made by West Lindsey District Council, is indicative only.
A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is an order made by the local planning authority in respect of trees or woodlands. The principal effect of a TPO is to prohibit the: cutting down, uprooting, topping, lopping, wilful damage, or wilful destruction of trees without the LPA's consent. TPO's are served on individual trees, groups of trees or woodlands when it is deemed to be expedient in the interests of amenity. They are used to protect trees and woodlands if their removal or changes to them would have a significant impact on the local environment and its enjoyment by the public.
