Trees and Woodland

The trees and woodland webpages are currently being developed and will soon offer further useful information and advice about the trees in Peterborough, tree care and links to other helpful websites.

 

Further information about tree preservation orders, trees in conservation areas, trees on development sites and private trees in general can be found on trees on private land.

 

Further information about the trees and woodland owned by the Council, including in the streets, parks, shelterbelts and woodlands can be found on on Council owned trees.

 

To assist the Council in ensuring it manages its trees effectively and consistently a tree and woodland strategy has been adopted.

Current Trees and Woodlands Strategy (201KB, 20 pages) 

 

 

Peterborough City Council adopted its first tree strategy in 1998.  Since then legislation affecting trees and Council policy has changed, particularly with the introduction of the Community Strategy. This new strategy links Council policy to the "Strategy for England's Trees, Woods and Forests" published by DEFRA in 2007.  Many community groups have already been contacted asking for their comments.  If you would like to comment on this strategy, please do so in writing to Mr P Fountain, Senior Open Space Officer, City Services, Nursery Lane, Fengate, Peterborough PE1 5BG, or by e-mail to trees@peterborough.gov.uk.   All comments must be received by 5th October 2007.
