All you have to do is check with the DDE if there is a preservation order in place, in reality it's highly unlikely that there will be, they usually only cover trees in villages, towns and some of the historical tree lined roads. Trees that are situated in peoples gardens in the countryside would almost certainly not have an order and if they did I would assume that the owners would know.

Our neighbour told us that there's a theoretical requirement to re-plant one for every one that you fell.
In practice though (at least around here), they're self-seeding with the number of acorns that drop. Providing you don't go completely mad, most authorities will be more than happy if you practice sensible forestry management, over which there are regulations anyway (as in operations de debroussaillement - I've got the regs in front of me).
Thanks all....I'll pop into DDE today Chrispy to see if there is standard practice in place. I must say that the agricultural community seem to be pretty well clued up on how they use their woodland. A second generation local forester I know told me that if they didn't look after their woodland then his sons would have no income to inherit so they are very careful, they don't need to be controlled by beaurocrats.
Areas Gemini? Neither time nor distance mean very much to me.....
It would appear that there are nearly as many of us Tree surgeons as there are trees now hey Chris.
In area 87 &86 there do not appear to be many listed trees at all, that said we have come across one. Aftre we condemed it the DDE did also. The removal was then a standard procedure
Hello tree Surgeons
What's the going rate for a tree surgeon? I have no idea. I've got acres of trees and some are huge and near the road so could do with something doing to them, do you types do a 'survey' visit for a price??
