Tree and woodland management policies and procedures

All Council owned trees will be inspected on a regular cycle as part of an ongoing programme of 1-3 years depending on location.  In most cases the Council will seek to address common management issues and arrange statutory, legal or essential tree maintenance as part of an ongoing work programme.  'Essential work' will include pruning trees to maintain clearances near structures, houses, road and footpaths, street lighting, signage and to maintain general health and safety.
