TREE SURGERY PLANNING

Tree work project checklist

Prepare the permissions, access and finishing questions before tree or hedge work is agreed.

No name, address or contact details needed. Entries are processed in your browser without sending an enquiry. Copy or download your result to keep it; this website does not save your tool entries.

Tick what you have already recorded or agreed. Your result separates those items from questions still to resolve; it does not rate a contractor or approve the work.

Assumptions and limits

Ticked boxes are a preparation record, not proof of permission or safety. Tree protection, wildlife, ownership and work methods need actual site checks.

Use Colchester City Council’s tree-protection information to check known TPO and conservation-area constraints before agreeing tree work. The tool does not determine protection status or grant consent.
