Planning application

7 Courtway Avenue Birmingham B14 4PP

Granted Bromsgrove TPO24/178 Works to a tree with a TPO

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1 - Oak Tree in rear garden Proposed Works; Removal of 2x lower boughs to raise crown and deadwood. First bough which is over the garden and growing towards the house has had significant damage historically. Although the tree seems to be coping with this, there is a cause for concern in the future as this continues to grow toward the property. Second bough is overhanging the rear and removal of this would balance the lower crown if the first bough is removed. The property owner has also mentioned that they get no light due to the tree and in my opinion raising the crown would gain them the light that they want and would still leave a natural healthy tree.

    177 Worcester Road Hagley Worcestershire DY9 0PR

    I would like permission to cut back some of the branches, including the top of the tree. The beech tree is becoming extremely large with branches over-reaching to my neighbours and we are receiving complaints about beech nuts and branches falling onto neighbouring property. I have always had concerns about the tree falling and so would like to keep the height trimmed so that it doesn't reach the property, should it fall.
