Trees are precious, and some are so valued that they are covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). Cotswold Distrcit Council holds the list of TPOs for this area, so you check directly whether a tree is protected.

However, even a TPO won’t prevent a diseased or dying tree from removal.

Also remember that any tree (which has a trunk diameter of 75mm at 1.5m from the ground) within our Conservation Area is automatically protected to much the same degree as if it had a TPO. Cotswold District Council holds the Conservation Area maps for this area.

If a tree is covered by a TPO, or is in our Conservation Area, the person wishing to do work on that tree must apply to carry out tree works. You can therefore check on the Costwold District Council Planning Portal to see whether permission for works has been secured. If permission has not been secured, please report the works directly to Cotswold District Council.
