There is a memo to go with the Regs that sets out clearly what all the
changes are:

Subject: RE: New TPO Regs For England
Well, how exciting. After a quick glance through I've noticed these:
1) We are to serve TPOs on persons interested on land affected by the Order
where:
<<“person interested” in relation to an order means every owner and occupier
of the land affected by the order>>
and << “land affected by the order” means the land on which the trees, groups
of trees or woodlands to which the order relates are situated;>>
No mention of neighbours!!!! Can we ignore adjoining land now, especially
when it's quite distant?
2) I think we no longer require a section 201 direction for the Order to take
provisional effect.
<<(until confirmation an order shall take effect provisionally on the date on
which it is made until>>
3) No dying exemption
4) Changed dangerous exemption <<the cutting down, uprooting, topping or
lopping of a tree, to the extent that such works are urgently necessary to
remove an immediate risk of serious harm, or to such other extent as agreed
in writing by the authority prior to the works being undertaken;>>
5) I think the time limit is new <<(4) Where consent is granted under
paragraph (1)(a)— (a)such consent shall be valid for a period of two years
beginning with the date of its grant; and (b)the works for which such consent
is granted may only be carried out once,unless otherwise stated in a condition
6) Hugely shrunk model Order
