What this application is

This is a Section 211 notice concerning a beech 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: T1- Beech leaning around 20 degrees right side behind house. Weight reduce through thinning to reduse risk of falling. The application was received by Bromsgrove District and Redditch Borough Council on 12 June 2025 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.
