Planning application
9 Stockwell Road Wolverhampton West Midlands WV6 9PQ
Works: Trees
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
Since the original planning report was submitted (originally 2017 and then updated for 2023), T320 has deteriorated significantly and we believe it will cause an unacceptable safety risk to users of the road which is passing under part of the canopy. In addition, the revised road alignment would impact the RPA of T320 by 22.33% and technically this tree would therefore require removal. (Although, it is already 21% on the approved road alignment). T314, whilst in better condition than T320, is a low quality tree whose removal would have no impact on the visual amenity of the site. The new road alignment will impact on RPA of T314 by 35.86% and technically this tree would therefore require removal. (although its already 24% on current road alignment). By altering the road position we propose to retain the following trees which were originally due to be removed: T301, T328, T329, T330. In order to offset the removal of T314 and T320 we would specifically look to provide two new trees which reflect the landscape character of the period: 1Nr. Wellingtonia (Giant Redwood), 1Nr. Coast redwood. We would look to locate them in the open grassy area which would provide them with the opportunity to reach maturity. In addition, we have also provided a landscape plan which proposes 16 new trees and extensive planting to massively enhance the landscape over the currently overgrown and unkept site.

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.
