Protected trees in Tadcaster fall under North Yorkshire Council. To check whether a tree has a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) on it, visit the council's trees and hedges page, which links to the relevant area process, including the Selby area's tree enquiry form. If a tree sits in a conservation area but has no TPO, you must still give the council six weeks' notice (a section 211 notice) before carrying out most work. You can apply through the Planning Portal or as your area's page directs.
Common questions
Do I need permission to cut down or prune a tree in Tadcaster?
You need consent from North Yorkshire Council before working on a tree with a Tree Preservation Order. For trees in a conservation area without a TPO, you must submit a section 211 notice and wait six weeks before starting work, unless an exception applies. The council still handles tree enquiries by former district area; its trees and hedges page links to the right process for your location, including the Selby area's tree enquiry form. Apply through the Planning Portal or as your area's page directs.
How do I check a tree surgeon in Tadcaster is legitimate?
Two of the eight firms listed on TreeSurgeonCheck for Tadcaster are on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, which you can search yourself at the Environment Agency's public register. Businesses transporting waste must be registered, and householders should check this before hiring. One firm states it holds relevant qualifications, and none state they are ARB Approved Contractors. You can search the ARB Approved Contractor directory independently to check any firm's status.
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 in use or being built. Before starting any work, check carefully for active nests regardless of the time of year.
What happens if a protected tree in Tadcaster is cut down without permission?
Cutting down, uprooting or wilfully destroying a protected tree is a criminal offence. The penalty is an unlimited fine. If North Yorkshire Council has not decided a TPO application within eight weeks, the applicant can appeal for non-determination. The council also has six weeks to consider work on conservation-area trees, and no work can be carried out during that period.
