Planning application

24/00747/TR

Avenue House 26 Clifton Road Wolverhampton West Midlands WV6 9AP

Refused Wolverhampton Lop, Top or Fell Trees Subject to a TPO

Proposal

T1 Sycamore- Remove The tree works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level and provide long term stability at 40 Clifton Road, Wolverhampton, West Midlands, WV6 9AP Estimated costs of repair to the building are ?10871.04 if the influence of the tree(s) remain and ?35,000 if the proposed tree works are allowed to proceed. Granting permission will limit these costs. In the event of a refusal we, or our clients, will seek to secure compensation for the additional costs incurred through Section 202(e). Should the tree/s remain the total cost of repairs will be the Superstructural repairs + Alternative method of repairs = ?45,871.04 It is the expert opinion of both the case engineer and arboriculturalist that on the balance of probabilities the supporting information demonstrates the influence of the tree(s). Note: Further monitoring results may be submitted if these become available during the course of this application.

What refusal means

The process from here

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

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.

    42 Clifton Road Wolverhampton West Midlands WV6 9AP

    02/2/73 T1 - Cedar - Remove the partially split and storm-damaged branch by pruning it back to the supporting union. This accords with BS3998:2010, which recommends the removal of defective or weakened branches where they present a foreseeable risk of failure. Reduce the extended branch over the garden by cutting it back to a suitable secondary growth point. This is consistent with BS3998:2010 guidance on crown reduction, ensuring that pruning cuts are made to appropriate laterals to maintain natural form, limit exposure, and reduce the likelihood of future structural imbalance. T2 - Ash - Side reduce on garden side of number 42 by no more than 2m, removing material no greater than 25mm in diameter. Remove deadwood throughout the crown (exempt from notification) to reduce the risk of branch drop and maintain safe site use. T3 Beech - Cut back the crown to provide a clearance of up to 3m from the roofline, selectively reducing only those branches that directly encroach on the structure. Pruning cuts will be made to suitable secondary growth points in accordance with BS3998:2010, maintaining natural form and avoiding excessive exposure of the remaining crown.
