Protected trees in Warminster are managed by Wiltshire Council. To find out whether a tree has a Tree Preservation Order or sits in a conservation area, contact Wiltshire Council's planning team. If work is covered by a TPO, you must apply through the Planning Portal. Trees in a conservation area that are not covered by a TPO still need 6 weeks' notice to the council (a section 211 notice) before most work, unless an exception applies.
Common questions
Do I need permission to cut down or prune a tree in Warminster?
If a tree has a Tree Preservation Order, you must apply for consent through the Planning Portal before carrying out most work. Contact Wiltshire Council's planning team to check whether a tree is covered by a TPO or is in a conservation area. For trees in a conservation area without a TPO, you must give Wiltshire Council 6 weeks' notice via a section 211 notice before most work begins, unless an exception applies.
How do I check a tree surgeon in Warminster is legitimate?
Check whether the firm is on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, which businesses transporting waste are required to join. You can search the register directly online. One firm listed for Warminster states it is an ARB Approved Contractor; you can verify ARB Approved Contractor status through the ARB's own directory. Three firms state they hold relevant qualifications. Four of the nine listed firms are on the Environment Agency waste carrier register.
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 starting any tree or hedge work, check carefully for active nests regardless of the time of year.
What happens if a protected tree in Warminster 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 you have applied for consent and Wiltshire Council has not decided the application within 8 weeks, you can appeal for non-determination. It is therefore important to confirm whether a tree has a TPO before carrying out any work by contacting Wiltshire Council's planning team.
