Much of the Strettons is in a Conservation Area which means any tree felling or tree work must be the subject of a Notice to the local planning authority, Shropshire Council. The Notice (known as a Section 211) must describe the work proposed. This notification gives the planning authority six weeks to consider the proposal and an opportunity to make a Tree Preservation Order. If the tree (or trees) already have a TPO a formal application should be made again describing any work to be done. The local volunteer Tree Wardens look at the proposed tree works and, if appropriate, make comments which are then considered by the Town Council, before being submitted to Shropshire Council. More information about making a Section 211 Notice (application), with guidance notes and information about trees on Conservation Areas and Tree Preservation Orders, is on the Shropshire Council website under Trees and Woodland.
