Trees and Landscape

Trees may be protected by way of a Tree Preservation Order, by being within a Conservation Area, or by the way of a condition imposed on a Planning Approval. Find out about how this protection might affect you.

Find out how the council's Conservation, Design and Landscape team can advise on biodiversity and woodland management issues, and how they impact on development.

Trees have a positive effect on developments and should be retained where possible. So successful applications may involve tree protection measures being put in place before contruction starts. Find out how that might affect you.

In many circumstances, you will need to apply to North Norfolk District Council if you want to remove a hedgerow. Find out what's involved.
