Planning application

25/01207/TR

385 Penn Road Wolverhampton West Midlands WV4 5QQ

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

Proposal

Remove 4 dead and 4 dying Pine trees to as close to ground level as practicable. Also, there is one smaller pine which is very tall and spindly and has no protection from the wind from other trees. It leans entirely towards the busy A449 so for this reason we request for the removal of this tree. There is also a large pine which leans entirely towards a horses stables. Once the other trees are removed this tree will be isolated and will have lost the protection from the wind from the other trees around it. Therefore we request for the removal of this tree. Several trees within this area have died and have been removed in previous years therefore we kindly ask for you to grant permission for the removal of the dying trees so that we can remove the risk of them falling onto the A449.

As published by the council, reference 25/01207/TR

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.
