What this application is

This is a Section 211 notice concerning a fir tree in a conservation area in Bromsgrove and Redditch. The council has six weeks to decide whether to make a 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: large fir tree by garage and approx 12 large fir trees by boundary fence. The application was received by Bromsgrove and Redditch on 29 April 2026 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.
