Planning application
26/00047/TR
56 Highlands Road Wolverhampton West Midlands WV3 8AH
Proposal
2/2/295 (T1) Oak tree situated in the far boundary of the back garden. We have lived in this property for 8 years and have not had the tree trimmed. The branches are becoming pendulous as they are growing downwards. A multitude of branches are touching garden buildings which we would want to be removed alongside the other work. We think the crown of the tree requires trimming and shaping. We are yet to make contact with a tree surgeon - we were hoping to secure initial permission and a list of qualifications we need to ensure the tree surgeon has.
As published by the council, reference 26/00047/TR

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Wolverhampton for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
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.
