(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the form of tree preservation order contained in the Schedule to the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation Order) Regulations 1969 so as to enable local authorities, for the purposes of compensation and except where an application is referred to them under the Forestry Act 1967, to treat trees in woodlands which have an outstanding or special amenity value in the same way as all other such trees.
