Planning application

PL/2022/02164/TPO

4 Brooksby Grove Dorridge Solihull B93 8BW

Granted Solihull Tree Preservation Order

Proposal

Very large and overgrown oak tree in the rear garden of known address above. This is causing many issues for tenant, landlord's property and neighbours surrounding. There is excess shading through many gardens and properties especially No. 4 and No. 2; the branches are encroaching on No. 2 property and also No. 4's conservatory. Concerns this may cause damage with bad weather this winter. There are low hanging branches and there are concerned they will break and fall. The tree is very large and with advice from contractor who attended site are for a 3 metre crown reduction and removal of limbs where needed. Can be seen from grove entrance position is rear left-hand side of garden.

As published by the council, reference PL/2022/02164/TPO

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.
