Planning Application

What this application is

This TPO application proposes work to a protected tree in Redditch. Because the tree is subject to a Tree Preservation Order, written consent is required before any work is carried out.

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: Trees at the rear of the property. cut back tree branches overhanging the property fence. The application was received by Bromsgrove and Redditch on 28 August 2026.

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.
