Dear Gerlinde Gniewosz

We acknowledge receipt of your email to Hackney:
 

Freedom of Information request - TPOs on council land

Thank you for your request for information, FOI-6858.

 

If you have submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) or the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR), we will always
aim to respond within the statutory timescale of 20 working days.

However, due to the current Coronavirus pandemic the Council is taking
steps to concentrate its resources on helping those who are most
vulnerable or at risk. This has meant taking our staff away from their
usual work to other areas of priority and need.

Hackney Council takes its obligations under Information Access legislation
seriously, however; the reality of the current situation means that we may
not be able to respond to your request within the statutory time frame. 

In respect of our duties to provide advice and assistance to you, it may
be useful for you to: 

* Consult data that is routinely [1]published on Hackney Council’s
website;
* Search our library of [2]previously answered Freedom of Information
and Environment Information Regulation requests; or to 
* Highlight to us if your request is time sensitive and requires urgent
attention. 

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. The Information
Commissioner’s Office has published further guidance on data processing
and information requests during this time [3]which is available here.

Dear  Gerlinde Gniewosz

 

Re: Freedom of Information Request /Environmental Information Request

Thank you for your request for information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000, received 16 October 2020. Your request has been
considered and our response is in bold below.

 

You requested the following: 

Please provide a list of all trees and their locations subject to a Tree
Preservation Order (TPO) that are located on council owned land (including
council housing estates)

 

The Council’s Response

The Council does not keep record of land ownership in relation to TPO
trees. Information on which trees are subject to TPOs is usually available
on the Council’s website via: [1]https://map.hackney.gov.uk/LBHackneymap/ 

Please note that as a result of the recent cyber-attack on the Hackney ICT
systems, the above link is not currently working. However, the Council is
still in the process of resolving the issues.

To be helpful, please find attached a full list of Tree Preservation
Orders within the London Borough of Hackney. This list is up-to-date as of
September 2020.
