Public Access services for planning, building control and licensing applications will be unavailable on Saturday 9 November due to essential maintenance.

Tree Week is the UK’s largest annual tree celebration, marking the start of the winter tree planting season (November to March). It aims to raise awareness of how we can all help to increase tree cover in the UK.

Trees are essential for the health of our environment and provide clean air, food, shelter for wildlife as well as helping to prevent flooding and soil erosion.

This year Tree Week is 23 November to 1 December, we will update this page with further information about how we are marking it in South Gloucestershire.

Tree planting guidance

When deciding where you want to plant your tree the key things to consider are:

  • do not plant it too close to any buildings
  • make sure the spot is not over pipework or utilities
