NEW TREES IN THE VILLAGE


As we live in a conservation area, you may need to apply for planning permission to trim, pollard or take down a tree.  Anyone who undertakes, commissions or permits tree works or damage to a tree in a conservation area without giving the appropriate notice to the Council is guilty of a criminal offence. This can lead to prosecution with fines of up to £20,000. In serious cases offenders may be dealt with by the Crown Court, where an unlimited fine can be imposed.

The link below gives the latest guidance from SCDC
March 2021.
