In South Glos you can't see a list of TPOs, but you can see any relevant applications.

You are right the felling within the curtilage of a dwelling is exempt from felling licenses.

There were exceptions under that act but it was modified under CROW and the wording changed to use the word "recklessly", so you in fact have a duty to make sure you don't disturb any nesting birds.

The message from "JoeJoe" contains these words:
One of my neighbours had a tree clearing session a bit ago. A few weeks later he put in an application for planning permission for a bungalow in his garden. The planners demanded a tree survey but there were no longer any trees in awkward places (and I won't have anywhere near as many leaves to sweep up every autumn. :-) )
