Trees and tree work in Glastonbury
Nine tree surgeons are listed on TreeSurgeonCheck for Glastonbury. Of these, six say they offer tree felling, pruning and crown reduction, and hedge trimming; five offer stump grinding and emergency storm work. Five say they work for homeowners, four for commercial clients, and one for farms and estates. Three firms are on the Environment Agency waste carrier register.
Protected trees in Glastonbury are the responsibility of Somerset Council. Somerset Council's TPO maps are still organised by the former district councils (Mendip, South Somerset, Sedgemoor, and Somerset West and Taunton), and its tree preservation page links to each one. You can check whether a tree is protected at the Somerset Council website. If a tree is in a conservation area but not covered by a TPO, you must still give the council six weeks' written notice (a section 211 notice) before carrying out most work, unless an exception applies.
Common questions
Do I need permission to cut down or prune a tree in Glastonbury?
If a tree has a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), you must submit a TPO application through the Planning Portal, with photos of the trees. Somerset Council decides TPO applications within 8 weeks; if it has not decided within that time, you can appeal for non-determination. For a protected tree that poses a safety risk, the council needs at least 5 days' written notice before it is cut down. Trees in a conservation area without a TPO require 6 weeks' notice via a section 211 notice.

How do I check a tree surgeon in Glastonbury is legitimate?
You can check whether a firm is on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, as businesses that transport waste must be registered and householders should verify this before a firm removes waste. Three of the nine listed firms in Glastonbury are on the register. None of the listed firms state they are an ARB Approved Contractor. Four firms state they hold relevant qualifications, and one says they handle protected tree applications. You can search the ARB Approved Contractor directory separately.

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 it, 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, you should check carefully for active nests regardless of the time of year.

What happens if a protected tree in Glastonbury is cut down without permission?
Cutting down, uprooting or wilfully destroying a protected tree is a criminal offence punishable by a fine, which is unlimited. TPO applications in Glastonbury are decided by Somerset Council. If you believe a protected tree poses a safety risk, the council still requires at least 5 days' written notice before it is cut down. Acting without the required permission or notice exposes you to prosecution under the relevant legislation.
