How do I get permission to remove or carry out work to a preserved tree?

If the trees on your property are within a Conservation Area or are protected by a Tree Preservation Order then you will require permission if you wish to carry out any works to them. Application forms and fees can be found on the Planning Portal website. You can also download forms from the Planning Portal website.

If you believe that the tree is dead, dying or dangerous then you should contact us on ph: 01424 451066 or email parks@hastings.gov.uk.
