This API provides point-location data for Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) in England, published via data.gov.uk. A TPO is a planning designation used by local authorities, such as Sheffield Planning Authority, to protect specific trees, groups of trees, or woodland from deliberate damage or destruction. Orders can restrict felling, topping, lopping, uprooting, or wilful damage without the authority's consent. The dataset represents individual protected trees as geospatial points, allowing users to identify their location and cross-reference them with related planning legislation. Access requires a free API key. It is relevant to planning officers, developers, surveyors, and residents checking tree protection status before undertaking building or land works.
