Protected trees in Liverpool.
We can check whether a tree is protected, and make the council application for you for a small fee. Protected trees
- A tree with a Tree Preservation Order needs the council’s written consent before it is cut down, topped, lopped or uprooted.
- Trees in a conservation area are protected too: the council needs six weeks’ notice before any work.
- Liverpool has 36 conservation areas, including Knotty Ash, West Derby, Childwall Abbey, Wavertree Village and Woolton Village.
- The council charges no fee for a tree works application. Dead or dangerous trees are exempt, but the council asks to be contacted first.

Your council
Street trees and high hedges.
A complaint about a neighbour’s high hedge comes under Part 8 of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003. Each council runs its own route.
A council or street tree
Liverpool City Council looks after trees on its own land: parks, cemeteries, open spaces and streets. Its trees page shows how to report one.

A neighbour’s high hedge
Liverpool charges £400 to investigate a high hedge complaint. First you must write to your neighbour, try mediation, and tell them in writing you will complain.
