Trees and tree work in Pocklington

TreeSurgeonCheck lists 13 tree surgeons covering Pocklington and the surrounding area. Of these, 10 state they offer pruning and crown reduction, 9 offer tree felling and hedge trimming, 6 offer stump grinding, and 3 offer emergency storm work. Eight say they work for homeowners, nine say they work for commercial clients, and six say they work for councils and the public sector.

Protected trees in Pocklington fall under East Riding of Yorkshire Council. You can check whether a tree is protected by using the council's planning constraints map, its online 'Find out if a tree is protected' form, or by emailing planning.trees@eastriding.gov.uk. If your tree is in a conservation area but not covered by a Tree Preservation Order, you must still give the council 6 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 Pocklington?

If your tree is covered by a Tree Preservation Order, you must apply to East Riding of Yorkshire Council before carrying out most work. The council says applications made through the Planning Portal currently carry no charge, though applications by email or post carry an administrative fee. The council may take up to 8 weeks to decide. Trees in a conservation area without a TPO still require 6 weeks' written notice. Dead branches can be removed from a living protected tree without notifying the council.

How do I check a tree surgeon in Pocklington is legitimate?

Two checks are worth making. First, confirm the firm is on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, as businesses transporting waste must be registered and householders should verify this before letting anyone remove waste from their property. You can search the register online. Second, the Arboricultural Association maintains an ARB Approved Contractor directory; one firm listed in Pocklington states it holds this status. Four of the 13 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 being built. Before starting any work, you should inspect for active nests regardless of the time of year.

What happens if a protected tree in Pocklington is cut down without permission?

Cutting down, uprooting or wilfully destroying a protected tree is a criminal offence under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The fine for doing so is unlimited. If East Riding of Yorkshire Council has not decided a TPO application within 8 weeks, the applicant can appeal for non-determination rather than wait indefinitely, but carrying out work without permission or before a decision is made risks prosecution.
