Planning application

The Greyhound [ph] 30 Rock Hill Bromsgrove Worcestershire B61 7LR
Proposal
Weeping Willow T1 as shown on attached plan (TPO Tree Ident Number unknown) Reduce canopy to allow access for pilling rig to install the retaining wall required for the junction improvement works approved as part of the approved 470 home residential Development known as Whitford Green, Whitford Road, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire We have undertaken air-spade site investigations to determine extent of root growth and geotechnical site investigations have been undertaken to aid the design of the retaining wall. To minimalise the impact of the wall a king post system is to be utilised but it necessary to have three pile locations on the edge of the canopy of the weeping willow to allow access for the piling rig. (See Attached Plan) For the works near the willow tree the piling rig is to be located on the existing highway at a lower level to minimalise the impact and requirement for pruning. The exact extent of pruning will be agreed on site with the Bromsgrove Tree Officer, but from our site visit and the information currently available we would suggest at a reduction of up to 5 limbs by up to 2m of their overall length (6m) to the southern and eastern side of the tree. It should be noted that we are happy to either undertake an all round crown reduction of this tree, or to only prune the limbs that are required to allow access for the piling rig, whichever option is deemed most appropriate by the Bromsgrove tree officer. We would be happy to meet the Bromsgrove Tree Officer on site to discuss this TPO application during the consultation period. We would suggest that condition is attached that requires final approval for the extent of works by the Bromsgrove tree officer. The pruning would be undertaken following the guidance of the tree officer and follow the guidance within BS3998 (2012)

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
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.
