Protected trees in Wetherby fall under Leeds City Council, which administers Tree Preservation Orders for the area. You can check whether a tree is protected using the council's online TPO map or by emailing landscape.planning@leeds.gov.uk. If your tree is in a conservation area but has no TPO, you must still give the council at least six weeks' notice before carrying out most work, by submitting a section 211 notice. Applications can be made through the Planning Portal or by sending the council's tree work application form by email or post.

Common questions

Do I need permission to cut down or prune a tree in Wetherby?

Whether you need permission depends on whether your tree has a Tree Preservation Order or sits in a conservation area. Leeds City Council handles TPO applications for Wetherby. You can check the council's online TPO map or email landscape.planning@leeds.gov.uk. Apply through the Planning Portal or by sending the council's form by email or post. Trees in a conservation area without a TPO still require at least six weeks' written notice to the council before most work begins.

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

Five of the 11 listed firms are on the Environment Agency waste carrier register, which you can search at the Environment Agency's public register. Businesses that transport waste must be registered, and householders should check before hiring. Two firms state they hold recognised qualifications. No firms in the Wetherby listing state they are ARB Approved Contractors, but you can search for approved contractors nationally through the ARB Approved Contractor Directory.

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, inspect carefully for active nests regardless of the time of year.

What happens if a protected tree in Wetherby 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 Leeds City Council has not decided a TPO application within eight weeks, the applicant can appeal for non-determination. Dead or dangerous protected trees require at least five working days' written notice to Leeds City Council before work begins, rather than a full application in most circumstances.
