Planning Application

What this application is

This TPO application concerns a pine tree in Bromsgrove and Redditch. Because the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order, no work can go ahead without written consent from the council.

Trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order cannot be pruned, reduced or felled without written consent from the council. This application is a request for that consent, usually because the tree is close to a property, showing signs of decline, or in need of routine crown management.

The applicant's own description is: Large Pine close to road / pedestrian footway, the tree appears to be leaning, some what more than it originally was, may be some root plate movement, restibng on neighbouring tree. It is of great concern as it is close…. The application was received by Bromsgrove District and Redditch Borough Council on 02 December 2025 and is currently marked application granted on the council register — see what that status means.

If you want to respond

Neighbours are formally notified only for trees inside a conservation area, but anyone can comment during the consultation window. Comments should focus on the tree's amenity value, health, or the impact of the proposed work — not the identity of the owner.
