Halton Borough Council
Protected trees in Halton.
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 notice to Halton Borough Council and an application form.
- For trees in a conservation area, the council must have at least six weeks’ notice. Halton has 10 conservation areas, shown on its map.
- Even pruning branches or roots that overhang your garden needs consent first if the tree is protected.
- The council does not prune its own trees just to stop overhanging branches or let in light, solar panels included.

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
Halton will not prune or remove its own trees for overhanging branches or light. It takes requests where a tree shows disease or a specific danger.
