Section 30 disapplies tree preservation orders made under section 198(1) or 202(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and regulations made under section 202A of that Act, and the provisions of section 211 of that Act dealing with trees in conservation areas, in relation to certain tree works. These are works to trees within the Act limits that are carried out for the purposes of the works authorised by the Act and also works to trees growing on any other land used for Phase One purposes which are necessary for the maintenance or operation of Phase One of HS2 or for safety reasons.
