Do I need permission to prune a tree?

You may need permission if the tree is in a conservation area or has a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). Check with your local council before any work. If the tree is dead or dangerous, restrictions usually do not apply, but you should still document the condition before work starts. We can advise during the site visit.
