Protected trees in Westbury are managed by Wiltshire Council. To check whether a tree has a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits in a conservation area, contact Wiltshire Council's planning team. If you need to apply for consent to work on a protected tree, apply through the Planning Portal. Trees in a conservation area that are not covered by a TPO still require six weeks' notice to the council (a section 211 notice) before most work is carried out, unless an exception applies.
Common questions
Do I need permission to cut down or prune a tree in Westbury?
If a tree has a Tree Preservation Order, or stands in a conservation area, you will likely need consent or must give notice before carrying out work. Contact Wiltshire Council's planning team to check whether a tree is protected or in a conservation area. Trees in a conservation area without a TPO require six weeks' notice to the council (a section 211 notice) before most work, unless an exception applies. Apply for TPO consent through the Planning Portal.
How do I check a tree surgeon in Westbury is legitimate?
Check whether the firm is on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, as businesses transporting waste must be registered. You can search the register online. One firm listed in Westbury states it is an ARB Approved Contractor; you can verify ARB Approved Contractor status through the ARB Approved Contractor Directory. Two firms state they hold relevant qualifications. Always confirm these details directly with the firm before hiring.
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 Westbury is cut down without permission?
Cutting down, uprooting or wilfully destroying a protected tree is a criminal offence. If convicted, the penalty is a fine, which is unlimited. If a TPO application has been submitted and the council has not made a decision within eight weeks, the applicant can appeal for non-determination. It is important to confirm whether a tree is protected before carrying out any work by contacting Wiltshire Council's planning team.
