Richmond Council is demanding more powers to protect its trees

 

It’s calling for a Government review on legislation surrounding Tree Preservation Orders.

 

The 1990 Act states that nature conservation and climate change are not sufficient grounds on their own to implement protection status.

 

It’s after a number of trees in a conservation area near Twickenham Green were felled  recently after developers were given permission.
