When it comes to trees and the law, you want clarity and compliance. Trees are subject to a complex web of legislation including statutes such as the Forestry Act, Town and Country Planning Act, Highways Act, Occupiers' Liability Acts, Hedgerow regs, as well as reams of common and case law. Understanding and adhering to the legal requirements is paramount, but it can be a daunting task.
At Elemental, we assist you in navigating the intricate legal landscape of arboriculture. Our consultancy is built on a foundation of integrity, and this extends to our commitment to providing accurate, expert advice on all legal aspects of arboriculture. We keep up-to-date with changing legislation and share our knowledge with you, and we're here to ensure that your tree-related activities align seamlessly with legal obligations.
Our team excels in the interpretation of Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) and Conservation Areas, which confer legal protection to trees or woodlands. We provide comprehensive advice on how TPOs may affect you and offer guidance on the processes required for seeking TPO consent.
Works not subject to protection in the form of TPOs or Conservation Areas, may still require a felling licence; we can provide assistance planning and obtaining these licences and ensure that your tree felling is conducted in compliance with sustainability and environmental regulations, and the UK forestry Standard.
We understand that navigating tree-related legislation can be overwhelming. Our aim is to simplify the process for you and ensure that you remain on the right side of the law.
