Tree Preservation Orders and Trees in Conservation Areas
DETR Tree Preservation Orders : A guide to the law and good practice.
Known as "The Blue Book", this guide sets out the Government's policy advice on the tree preservation order system. It outlines the law as it currently stands in England, taking into account the Town and Country Planning (Trees) Regulations 1999 which came into force on 2 August 1999. Although this guide is aimed at local planning authorities, it is an essential reference tool for all those involved with the tree preservation order system.

Forestry Commission Felling Licences
Felling licences mostly apply to forestry and woodland operations. Tree surgery and felling in gardens, orchards, churchyards, and some designated public open spaces, is usually exempt.

Wood Burning Stoves and Woodchip Boilers
Logs, woodchips, and compressed sawdust pellets, can be burnt for heat, hot water, or even central heating. Some boilers are entirely automatic, feeding the fuel as required. Woodfuel can be used for any size of heating system for industrial or domestic use. Some even burn straw. Woodfuel is an entirely renewable resource and is a carbon neutral fuel.
These are some websites I have found on the subject. I have included them here, without recomendation, to give you a start.
