Applications are made through the Planning Portal.
Common questions
Do I need permission to cut down or prune a tree in Devizes?
You may need permission if the tree has a Tree Preservation Order or stands in a conservation area. Contact Wiltshire Council's planning team to check. For trees in a conservation area without a TPO, you must give the council six weeks' notice via a section 211 notice before most work, unless an exception applies. Applications are submitted through the Planning Portal. If the council has not decided a TPO application within eight weeks, the applicant can appeal for non-determination.
How do I check a tree surgeon in Devizes is legitimate?
You can verify that a firm is on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, which businesses transporting waste are required to join, using the public register search tool. No firms listed for Devizes state they are ARB Approved Contractors, but you can search the ARB Approved Contractor Directory independently. Three firms state they hold relevant qualifications. Householders have a duty to check that anyone removing waste from their property is a registered waste carrier.
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 built. Before carrying out any tree or hedge work, contractors should check carefully for nesting activity regardless of the time of year.
What happens if a protected tree in Devizes 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. This applies to trees covered by a Tree Preservation Order. You should contact Wiltshire Council's planning team before carrying out any work on a tree you think may be protected, and submit any required application through the Planning Portal.
