TPO Map — Tree Preservation Orders in Cumberland Council

Cumberland Council was created on 1 April 2023 by merging the predecessor district councils for this area. We hold 1,739 TPO records, all originally made by Carlisle City Council before the merger. Cumberland Council has not yet published its own consolidated TPO register, so coverage may be incomplete in areas previously administered by Allerdale Borough Council and Copeland Borough Council.
