Trees and woodlands policy
Our policy explains how public trees are managed and provides guidance for managing your own trees. It supports our Climate and Ecological Emergency Strategy.
The policy also introduces the CAVAT (Capital Asset Value for Amenity Trees) valuation system, which places a monetary value on trees. If public trees are damaged or destroyed, we will seek compensation based on this value.
Before starting any tree work, please check with our team to avoid penalties.
We have two policy documents:
- Tree and Woodlands Policy Summary 2020-2025 (PDF 278KB) - this short document covers policy statements and common tree issues
- Tree and Woodland Policy 2020-2025 (PDF 544KB) - our full policy document.
