If there are trees on your plot that need to be cut down, contact the greenery manager primarily by telephone, and they will conduct a terrain survey if necessary.

You can hear the neighbours’ opinions yourself or the city can do it for you (subject to a fee).
You can fill in/save and send the application and the hearing form for your neighbours by email, or print and send them by post.

Background information
The owner or holder of a land area must apply for a landscape work permit in order to carry out earth works, tree-felling or similar action altering the landscape in areas covered by a local detailed plan. A landscape work permit is also required in areas covered by a local master plan, if the plan so requires.
The decision on the application is taken by the authority designated for the task by the municipality. No landscape work permit is required to fell individual trees for the purpose of caring for plots. Neither is a landscape work permit required for actions that are related to an issued building permit or action permit.
