Tree Preservation Orders—Sorted Without the Headache

TPOs matter. You know they need to be cleaned, digitised, and available in one place. But with limited time, resources, and never-ending demands, they keep slipping down the list.

That's where TPO Digital comes in.

We help Local Planning Authorities digitise, clean, and reconcile their TPO datasets - so you get a complete, accurate, and up-to-date picture, ready for use in development management and Local Land Charges.

Key Benefits

Fully funded support available

No technical expertise required

Trusted by LPAs across the UK

The Problem

Most LPAs are stuck with:

  • Outdated records buried in PDFs or spreadsheets
  • Manual checking during planning applications and Local Land Charge queries
  • Inconsistent data, impossible to view on a map
  • No time, no resources, and no clear process for fixing it

"It's one more thing we know we should do, but we just don't have the capacity."

What You Get with TPO Digital

We don't just digitise—we reconcile, validate, and empower your team.

  • Audit and digitisation of all existing TPO data
  • Cross-checks with other datasets for completeness (planning history, GIS layers, land charges)
  • GIS mapping integration so you can visualise your data instantly
  • Training and handover so your team can manage and maintain data moving forward
  • Flexible support based on your budget and in-house capacity

Why LPAs Trust Us

  • We work directly with LPAs across the UK
  • We understand real planning workflows
  • We help you build skills in-house, not create vendor lock-in

Designed for You

TPO Digital is built for Local Planning Authorities who:

  • Want a clean, complete TPO dataset they can trust
  • Don't have time, resources, or GIS expertise to deal with it internally
  • Would prefer to outsource the heavy lifting, but still keep control
  • Want to see their data on a map, not buried in folders

What Makes Us Different

Unlike generic GIS services or expensive consultants, we:

  • Reconcile your TPO data with external sources so you get a live, accurate view, not just a static snapshot
  • Provide training and support so your team members get comfortable with GIS software to manage the dataset
  • Keep it affordable and transparent
