Online services
TPO Portal
Avoid time consuming enquiries by encouraging the public to use this online self-service portal.
ezyPortal is fed directly from your TPO data held in Ezytreev. It publishes TPO and application/notification registers, including all relevant documents, and also offers a user-friendly interactive map search tool. Householders, neighbours, solicitors and others can check the protection status of trees by searching for a property and viewing TPO trees, Conservation areas and any s211 trees on mapping. Individual trees, groups, woodlands and areas can be interrogated via the map to find the species and type of protection, plus the application history of each tree.
