As we live in a conservation area, a good 'rule of thumb' to remember is, any tree that has a diameter of 75mm, measured 1500mm from its base is protected. If under this 75mm it may be trimmed or removed If you are in any doubt, please contact the Tree Warden - he is more than happy to help and offer advice.
Below is an information leaflet from the forestry commission which you may find useful.
