TPOs and Conservation Areas in Bowdon
Bowdon has its own Conservation Area, and Trafford Council publishes an appraisal and management plan for it. Work on a tree in a Conservation Area usually needs six weeks’ notice to the council first, for a trunk more than 7.5 cm across, measured 1.5 m above the ground.
Check your address on Trafford Council’s map: Find out if a tree is protected, Trafford Council.
Adam will tell you if he thinks your tree is protected, and only the council can confirm it. You then contact the council yourself.

Tree work in a Conservation Area: what to expect
You tell the council
You give the council notice (Conservation Area), or apply for consent (TPO tree). The council deals with you, not with us.
Six weeks
The council has six weeks to respond to a Conservation Area notice. If it has not made a Tree Preservation Order in that time, the work can go ahead. It can start sooner if the council says it has no objection. The notice covers work done within two years.
We book the work
We book the work in once the council has agreed or the notice period has passed. We will ask to see the council’s reply, or the date you gave notice, before we start.
