Planning Application

What this application is

This TPO application concerns a beech 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: G2 Plan Attached Marked A G2 Marked in orange on Plan A G2 Listed and marked in orange on Plan B 4x Beech - Reduction of 2m as per report attached marked C 1x Oak - 1/3 reduction as per reports attached marked C. The application was received by Bromsgrove District and Redditch Borough Council on 06 February 2026 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.
