Planning application
25/00999/TPO
15 Green Pippin Close Gloucester GL2 0PA
Proposal
Ash tree, T7 within TPO 107. The T7 designation is also used on the sketch plan to indicate the tree. The tree is located solely within our back garden. Work to be done to the tree is the felling of the tree, including stump grinding or similar. This is because the tree has Ash Dieback, is 25m tall, but less than 4m from the house and consequently possing a significant risk to the property. The tree has been seen by an Arborist and they have recommended its removal.

What refusal means
The process from here
The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.
Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

The tree in question for this application is the ash tree designated as T7 in TPO 105. However, in WildBirch Tree Consultancy - Tree Condition Report and Management Recommendations (WB-2026-020-R1), this same tree is identifed as T1. As concluded in WB-2026-020-R1, due to its size, proximity to adjacent structures, and the limited scale of the garden, the tree is considered unsuitable for long-term retention within the site. Consequently, the recommended works are to fell and potentially replace with a smaller more suitable species (section 5.14). It is recommended in section 5.15 that a smaller more suitable species (than ash) is planted that will not outgrow this site and that it is planted along the rear (south-western) boundary. Species suggestions are: ? Field maple ?Elsrijk? (Acer campestre ?Elsrijk?) ? Great white cherry (Prunus ?Tai Haku?) ? Whitebeam 'Lutescens' (Sorbus aria ?Lutescens?)

Ash tree numbered T7 on the TPO 107, wrongly shown on TPO105. Given the tree isn't a good example of an ASH and the TPO was clearer placed on this tree and many others in the area in the past for the wrong reasons - to prevent planning and building of other houses there is no reason the tree can not be removed. We have a clear report from a specialist which we have shared with our house insurance company and they are insisting we apply for removal. The tree is 25m tall and is only 4 m from our property. If we fail to get a good reason if you decide removal isn't granted our insurance will become a problem. Please note if you still wish to "protect the area" we would be prepared to plant a different tree within our garden but far enough away so it couldn't fall on the house. We have examined carefully your guide on why a tree would have a TPO and can find no reason for such an order being required on a tree in this condition.

This application is being submitted on behalf of my elderly mother-in-law. 1. Removal of a small Yew tree. This is located at the boundary wall between the property and the public pavement. Thr main trunk of the Yew tree grows almost horizontally from the foot of dwarf boundary wall towards the main property. The dimensions of the Yew tree 3.2m* 3m wide and aprox 4m high. As the tree is located 1.5m from the propertys foul water drain and 2m to the public sewer there is concern that the roots will damage the foul water drains. In addition as the root system is expected to encrouch on the main property it is likely to cause damage to the foundations of the building. (Note there is a cellar directly under this part of the property increasing the risk of property damage.) Further the tree roots will impact the integrity of the boundary wall and potemntially the public pavement. 2. Removal of a Bay tree. This tree is aprox 10 -15m tall and located within 3m of the property rear, and within 0.3m located of boundary wall with the neighbouring property. The neighbouring property is around 1m from this wall. The primary concern is the impact the root system has on the two properties and the boundary wall plus the reduction of light to the neighbours property.
