TPOs & conservation areas in Highbury
Local councils (Enfield, Barnet, Haringey, Hertsmere, Welwyn Hatfield, Broxbourne, Epping Forest — depending where you sit) regulate work on trees in conservation areas and on TPO'd trees. We check the records before quoting, and submit the application on your behalf if consent is required. No fines, no surprises.
