Living in a conservation area
... has many upsides, but please be aware of the tighter restrictions on altering the appearance of buildings and the environment that apply to conservation areas. You may need to apply for planning permission to carry out a wall repair or rebuild an existing fence and obtain what is commonly referred to as 'conservation area consent.'
When it comes to trimming, pollard or taking down a tree without planning permission, the consequences can be especially dire, since all trees in conservation areas are protected by general conservation area controls. Anyone who undertakes, commissions or permits tree works or damage to a tree in a conservation area without obtaining planning permission is guilty of a criminal offence.
Greater Cambridge Shared Planning provides information on how to get permission to work on trees in conservation areas.
