Gardeners are being warned that cutting back certain trees in their garden could land them with a £20,000 fine.
The warning follows after a homeowner in Stockport made headlines after receiving a £20,000 fine for chopping down a tree in their garden, which he was unaware had been issued a Tree Preservation Order, also known as a TPO. As reported by The Mirror, the homeowner had cut back his tree as it was blocking the light into his conservatory.
