What this application is

Species: AshWork: Removal

This TPO application concerns a ash tree in Bromsgrove and Redditch and proposes removal. The council will assess the impact on public amenity and the tree's health before deciding whether to consent, refuse, or grant with a lighter specification.

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: The trees are to be removed to protect the local infrastructure. 43 In poor condition and too close to the foul drain. 75 Too close to the foul drain and not a suitable location touching tree 43 44 Too close to the foul…. The application was received by Bromsgrove and Redditch on 18 May 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.
