Planning application
12 Avondale Road Wolverhampton West Midlands WV6 0AJ
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
The 4 trees are in the grounds of Bromford Dale, Albert Road, Wolverhampton, WV6 0BA and are adjacent to the boundary with my property at 12 Avondale Road. The trees are limes and create excessive shading of my garden if not regularly maintained. In 2018 I obtained permission from the owners of Bromford Dale, Bromford Homes, to carry out some work to reduce the shading created by the trees if I obtained permission from the local authority as the trees are protected by TPOs. I duly applied to the Planning Dept. of Wolverhampton City Council and was granted permission to lift the crowns to 6m and remove epicormic growth. I appointed an approved tree surgeon (Nick Sims, Tettenhall Tree Surgery) to carry out the work. Because the lime trees produce profuse epicormic growth, this needs to be removed every couple of years to reduce the shading it creates. I contacted the planning dept. again in 2020 to allow the removal of new epicormic growth below the crown. This was permitted on the basis that the previous permit had not expired. I am now reapplying for permission for the tree surgeon to again remove the new epicormic growth below the crown from the 4 trees.

T5201 - Oak - Reduce/pollard the crown to approx 6m, retaining the lower stem as standing deadwood habitat as appropriate - Decay at base on SE side. Sounding hammer indicated significant decay. Ganoderma bracket present, tree previously pollarded T5204 - Silver Birch - Fell tree - Tree leaning over residential garden T5205 - Oak - Reduce/pollard crown to approx 8m to reduce end-weight and loading towards the adjacent residential gardens - Cavity at 6m on west side, canopy leaning over gardens T5206 - Oak - Reduce/pollard crown to approx 8m - Crown extends over adjacent residential gardens following the failure/removal of an adjacent tree Remove several Holly trees overhanging neighbouring gardens down as close to ground level as practicably possible. H1/H2/H3 The holly trees require removal to facilitate safe and efficient implementation of the approved oak tree works and future boundary maintenance. Owing to their boundary location, retention would create ongoing management and access constraints for adjoining landowners. Their contribution to the character and appearance of the conservation area is limited, and their removal is not considered detrimental to local amenity.

Cadet Centre Halecroft Avenue Wolverhampton West Midlands WV11 1TS
06/00074/TPO, Halecroft Avenue, Wednesfield, Tree Preservation Order 1997 [02/2/445] (T1) Specification of Proposed Works Prune the protected tree to remove and/or selectively reduce only those branches that are currently overhanging and contacting, or are likely to come into contact with, the roof and guttering of the building. In addition, selectively prune branches around the overhead telephone/broadband cable supplying the cadet centre, removing only those branches that are currently contacting the cable or are sufficiently close that they are likely to interfere with, place pressure on, or damage the cable. The pruning is to be carried out sympathetically and to the minimum extent necessary to provide adequate clearance from the roof, guttering and telecommunications cable, while retaining the natural form, health and structural integrity of the tree. No unnecessary or excessive crown reduction is proposed. All arisings, branches and other tree waste generated by the works are to be removed from site on completion, leaving the area clean and tidy.
