Consent is needed before work on protected trees.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.

The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
