With more than 30 years in Arboriculture, Principal Consultant Paul Watts has experience across all aspects of the profession. Starting as an apprentice with the Portsmouth City Council tree team in the 1970’s, Paul progressed into private practice as a contractor, Senior Arboricultural Officer for the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead and as a Regional Operations Manager for a large Environmental Practice.
Watts Consultancy was started in 1998 and has evolved and continued to develop core services to the client base, through experience, innovation, best practice and the skills of some of the key associated practitioners in Arboriculture and allied professions, such as ecology and landscape design. Partnering with long standing colleagues and associates provides a broad base of experience and flexible approach to client needs.
We are therefore delighted to be able to work with and assist Dr. Dealga O’Callaghan as an adjunct Practice Expert in cases such as Planning Appeals, Public Inquiries and high profile legal cases such as his work on Poll v Bartholemew [2006] and Selwyn-Smith v Gomples [2009]. We can supply copies of these judgements as .PDF files, on request to: info@wattstreeconsultancy.co.uk
