TPOs
Six weeks to a decision. Six weeks.
A Tree Preservation Order breach costs up to £20,000 per tree on summary conviction (TCPA 1990 s198). The consent process gives the LPA six weeks to decide. SAMRISK tracks every order, every application, every deadline.
TCPA 1990 s198. Conservation Area s211 notices too.
