This acclaimed text is the only comprehensive reference source on the law relating to trees, forests and hedges.

This new edition explains the general law on trees, dealing with such matters as ownership, trees and hedges on property boundaries, high hedges, hazardous trees, highway trees, works to trees, and the planting of trees and hedges. It then examines the law relating to commercial forestry, including its financial and environmental aspects, and outlines mechanisms for protecting important trees and hedges.

The new system of tree preservation orders to be brought in by regulations made under the Planning Act 2008 is covered, and the new regime controlling high hedges on boundaries, established by the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003, is explained. The author also examines the Plant Health Order 2005, and the issue of restocking notices following unauthorised felling.

  • Provides an up-to-date summary of the case law on owner's liability for trees and claims for tree-related subsidence damage
  • Discusses the new system of tree preservation orders, brought in by the Planning Act 2008 and the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation) Regulations 2011
  • Deals with the new Plant Health Order 2005, and the altered rules on unauthorised felling
  • Analyses the procedures for dealing with high hedges under the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003
  • Refers to 50 new cases, including Palm Developments v Secretary of State in the High Court and Perrin v Northampton BC in the Court of Appeal
