Information requested:

Would it please be possible to have the number of Land Register Applications Forms (LRAF) presented to the Keeper since the commencement of the Land Registration etc. (Scotland) Act 2012 on 8 December 2014 for registration of Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs). Of that, could you kindly confirm the number of accepted, rejected, or undergoing registration?

Would it also be possible for it to be broken down into Registration County and year?

Response:

Please find the information you have requested in the attached file, ‘Tree Preservation Orders’.

These figures cover the date range 8 December 2014 to 23 April 2025.

As requested, this includes a breakdown of the statistics by registration county and by year in which the applications were created.

Please note that 31 ‘pre intake rejected’ applications (i.e., applications which were rejected before they were taken onto the application record) are recorded separately as these are from a different dataset.
