Planning Application

What this application is

This TPO application proposes work to a protected tree in Bromsgrove and Redditch. Because the tree is subject to a Tree Preservation Order, written consent is required before any work is carried out.

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: Take off the tops of the trees that are lying on roof of 7 Barnt Green Road, B45 8ND. The application was received by Bromsgrove District and Redditch Borough Council on 23 December 2025 and is currently marked pending consideration 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.
