St Helens Borough Council

Protected trees in St Helens.

We can check whether a tree is protected, and make the council application for you for a small fee. Protected trees

Work on a tree with a Tree Preservation Order needs the council’s permission first. A new order takes effect straight away.
Trees in a conservation area need six weeks’ notice, so the council’s Trees and Woodlands Officer can visit first.
Notice is not needed for conservation area trees under 75mm across, measured 1.5 metres above the ground.
St Helens has eight conservation areas. Unauthorised work can mean a fine of up to £20,000 per tree, and replanting.
