What this application is

This is a Section 211 notice concerning a ash 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: Cut back neighbours Ash B in rear to approx. fence line; Ash C in rear to raise canopy from car park to approx. 5 mtrs; Reduce canopy spread car park side by approx. 3 - 4 mtrs;. The application was received by Bromsgrove and Redditch on 11 June 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.
