Tree protection

​​​​​​​ Tree Preservation Orders (TPO) apply to specific trees and woodlands in Cardiff to help protect them.

It is illegal to cut down, prune, destroy or damage trees covered by a TPO, unless permission has been given by the council. In order to seek permission you must first complete an application for tree works subject to a TPO. (179kb PDF)​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​External link opens in a new window
