Planning or tree work in the New Forest?

Inside the New Forest National Park, tree work and planning applications go to the New Forest National Park Authority, not the district council. Many properties are also in a Conservation Area and have Tree Preservation Orders, so the same tree can need consent twice.

We regularly work across the National Park, know how its process differs, and will help you get your application right first time.
