Planning application

5 The Drive Redditch Worcestershire B97 6QE

Granted Bromsgrove TPO25/019 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

There are some leylandii around the bottom right of the property. Near the house. None of there trees have TPOs. They where originally planted to form a hedge, but over the year under the care of previous owners the hedge has become out of control. In recent storms it has become apparent that there leylandii can fall. The subsequent rain also caused one to fall. A previous application is to reduce the over grown hedge to 50% has been applied for. This application is concerning a few trees that are nearer the house, these particular trees in question would if fall would fall in the play area and hit the house and the bedrooms. We want to prove a safe play space. Therefore; we are asking if we can for this area return the what was a hedge back to a hedge. Removing the very over grown hedge area and replace with a manageable, safe hedge. Re-establishing the original purpose.

  • TPO26/133 Granted

    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.
