I don't think the Tree Preservation Order system works very well; fine trees
get felled because local authorities lack resources; a lot of time and money
gets spent on tortuous and tedious arguments about whether or not trees
are/were protected at certain points in time. I could go on.
As an excellent alternative, I propose scrapping all TPOs, and amending the
Conservation Area legislation to cover the entire country (including her
majesty's estates), thereby protecting all UK trees over, erm, is it 15cm
girth (I'm afraid I can't remember).
Does anyone agree with me?
