Planning Application

What this application is

This TPO application concerns a horse chestnut 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: 2 Trees at the front of the property T1 - Acer - Crown raise to match the side that has been raised previously to clear phone lines and allow more light onto homeowners land T2 - Horse Chestnut - Removal of epicormic gr…. The application was received by Bromsgrove and Redditch on 15 June 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.
