Duty to Consult
Under Section 115 of the Environment Act 2021, local highway authorities are now required to consult over proposals to remove certain street trees.
Hounslow Highways will fulfil this duty by affixing a consultation notice to trees that are proposed to be felled, opening a 28 day public consultation period and maintaining a register of consultations on this webpage.
Following the consultation, a decision notice will be affixed to the tree detailing the outcome and responses received during the consultation period.
The results of the consultation will remain applicable for a period of 2 years following the end of the consultation period. Within the 2 years following the consultation period, we may fell the street tree(s) in question, following publication of the outcome at least 28 days prior to the felling taking place.
After 2 years, the results of the consultation will expire and a new consultation must be undertaken if we wish to fell any street tree(s) previously consulted on.
