Tree Services
Tree Services
The Tree Services team is part of the Countryside Unit and is
responsible for all council trees within the borough, planning
applications which involve trees and the making and confirming of
Tree Preservation Orders. We also manage the trees along the
highways on an agency basis for Hampshire County Council.
We are also responsible for all planning related tree issues,
including applications for work to trees protected by Tree
Preservation Orders ( TPO s) or Conservation Areas, assessing
planning applications with regard to their potential effect on
trees and monitoring new TPO s where trees are perceived to be
under threat.
Unfortunately we are only able to deal with tree related
enquiries, therefore if your enquiry is related to hedges, bushes,
shrubbery, grass cutting or is otherwise non-tree related please
contact Direct Services on 02380 688 440.

Tree Wardens
Tree Wardens are volunteers from the local community who have an
interest in trees and are able to give some time to the protection
of the trees within their area.
This volunteer scheme provides free training and support along
with the chance to help improve your area with extra tree
planting.
Further information about becoming a Tree Warden and what they
do is available from Dick Walters who manages the
team.
