Frequently asked questions about Tree Surgery Cert
Do I need permission to cut down a tree?
If the tree has a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), you must apply to the local planning authority for consent. If it is in a Conservation Area with no TPO, you must give the authority six weeks' written notice before the work, which can then go ahead within two years. Working on a protected tree without consent or notice is a criminal offence.
What does BS 3998 cover?
BS 3998:2010 provides recommendations for tree work including crown reduction, crown thinning, crown lifting, pollarding, and felling. It sets standards for cut quality, branch removal, and post-work tree health.
