Trees that are exempt from TPOs are those that are dead, dying, diseased or dangerous and fruit trees grown for the commercial production of fruit. </p><p>TPOs prohibits the cutting down, uprooting, topping, lopping, wilful damage or wilful destruction of trees without the Local Authorities consent. </p><p>The maximum penalty for carrying out works to TPO trees without consent is &#xA3;20,000. </p><p>The Council's policy is only to protect trees that are under a direct threat. </p><p>For a guide to the law and best practise on Tree Preservation Orders please see the Urban Policy on the <a href="http://www.odpm.gov.uk/stellent/groups/odpm_urbanpolicy/documents/page/odpm_urbpol_607967.hcsp">Office of the Deputy Prime Minister website</a> . <span class="gen">link to external website</span> </p><span class="gen">email address here</span><span class="gen">phone number here</span><span class="gen">sms phone number here</span><span class="gen">fax number here</span><span class="gen">minicom number here</span><span class="gen">postal address here</span><h3> <a href="/ccm/services/pid.jsp?pid=508"> Providing Information (508) </a></h3>
