Chop 'em down before they do get a preservation order.
Christian.
yes - cut them down quick before they get wind of your intentions
Unless you're in a Conservation Area where they're protected already.
OTOH, it appears from that link that planning permission overrides a TPO. Does the extension have/require PP?
Christian.
basically any tree with a trubk of over 3 inch diameter can qualify , so get the chainsaw out quick.

to a friend, the planner went straight back and organised a TPO!!! causing the plans to have to be changed!

No one's even considered asking the trees what they think about it. Typical.
I side with that comment too. I happen to like trees.
What we need is one of those trees that appeared in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
And I'll bet the tree doesn't get an oscar either. It'll probably be claimed it was a wooden performance.
