Part I of the Regulations defines terms used in the Regulations. Part II prescribes the form of tree preservation orders and the procedure for their making, confirmation, variation and revocation. The prescribed form is set out in the Schedule to the Regulations. In principal, the consent of the local planning authority is required before any tree protected by the Order may be cut down, topped, lopped, uprooted, damaged or destroyed. Part III of the Regulations makes special provision in relation to trees in conservation areas. Part IV of the Regulations prescribes the procedure to be followed if an appeal in respect of an application made under a tree preservation order is to be disposed of without an inquiry or hearing. Regulation 17 in Part V amends the Town and Country Planning General Regulations 1992. The effect of the new provisions is that a local planning authority no longer has to apply to the Secretary of State for consent for the carrying out of certain works in relation to trees protected by a tree preservation order on land which it owns.
