Before removing a tree, you will need to:
- check if it is a regulated or significant tree - Regulated and significant trees - descriptions (PDF, 324 KB) (PDF, 255 KB)
- read the descriptions to see if the species is exempt
- determine if the tree is dead. If it is, you can remove it without approval.
Contact your local council or seek independent advice if you are unsure about the requirements for removing a tree.
