To check whether a tree in Chippenham is covered by a TPO or sits in a conservation area, contact Wiltshire Council's planning team at wiltshire.gov.uk. If a tree is in a conservation area but has no TPO, you must give the council 6 weeks' notice via a section 211 notice before carrying out most work. Applications for TPO consent are made through the Planning Portal.
Common questions
Do I need permission to cut down or prune a tree in Chippenham?
You may need permission depending on whether the tree has a Tree Preservation Order or sits in a conservation area. Contact Wiltshire Council's planning team to check. If a TPO applies, you must apply for consent through the Planning Portal. If the tree is in a conservation area without a TPO, you must submit a section 211 notice giving the council 6 weeks' notice before most work, unless an exception applies.
How do I check a tree surgeon in Chippenham is legitimate?
Check whether the firm is on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, as businesses that transport waste must be registered and householders should verify this before hiring. You can search the register online. You can also look for firms that state they hold the ARB Approved Contractor status using the ARB directory. Of the 14 firms listed in Chippenham, 9 are on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, and 3 state they hold relevant qualifications.
When should tree and hedge work be avoided because of nesting birds?
The main bird nesting season runs from March to September, though birds can nest outside this period, so tree and hedge work should be checked for active nests at any time of year. It is an offence to intentionally take, damage or destroy a wild bird's nest while it is being used or being built. Before carrying out any tree or hedge work, check carefully for active nests regardless of the time of year.
What happens if a protected tree in Chippenham is cut down without permission?
Cutting down, uprooting or wilfully destroying a protected tree is a criminal offence. The penalty is a fine, which is unlimited. If Wiltshire Council has not decided a TPO application within 8 weeks, the applicant can appeal for non-determination, but carrying out work without consent or before the process is complete risks prosecution and the unlimited fine.
