Planning application

Fairways Finchfield Gardens Wolverhampton West Midlands WV3 9LT

Granted Wolverhampton 21/00980/TN Trees in Conservation Area Notification

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

These are 6 hawthorn bushes that overtime developed into trees. We would like to remove them and replace with species that have higher biodiversity value (i.e. oak). Two of the hawthorns are rotting by the base and one is dead - they pose a risk of collapse.

As published by the council, reference 21/00980/TN

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.
