Planning Application

What this application is

This is a Section 211 notice for tree work in a conservation area in Bromsgrove and Redditch. The council has six weeks to consider whether the tree warrants a full Tree Preservation Order.

Trees in a conservation area with a trunk diameter over 75mm are automatically protected. A Section 211 notice gives the council six weeks to decide whether to make a Tree Preservation Order before work can proceed.

The applicant's own description is: The tree is located at the bottom of the rear garden and the tree species is unknown. Over the years the tree roots have damaged the rear wall which has now had buttresses installed and the tree has also now grown over…. The application was received by Bromsgrove District and Redditch Borough Council on 21 October 2025 and is currently marked pending consideration on the council register — see what that status means.

If you want to respond

You can submit an objection asking the council to make a TPO if you feel the tree contributes meaningfully to the character of the conservation area.
