TPO26/103 - Works to a tree with a TPO Approved

Proposal

T1 (Norway Maple): A site visit was carried out by Chris Hancox (MBTS) and Tarek Ball (Tree officer BDC) To discuss best practice solutions for the tree. The Mature tree has a vast size canopy that is encroaching over the property. To lower the risk of limb failure, the best solution would require a crown reduction of 25% (3m). T2 to T8: The trees stated are in poor condition or are low value. If works are to commence on any of the trees in question, Tarek must be informed. T1 (Norway Maple) 25% reduction (3m) T2 (Birch) Remove T3 (Birch) Remove. T4 (Eucalyptus) Remove. T5 (Fir) Remove. T6 (Tulip) Reduce or remove. T7 (Willow) Pollard or remove.T8 (Sycamore) Remove.

List entry 1167106 · 2 m away · 2 more listed buildings within 150 m (2 Grade II)

Historic England ↗
Green belt: Birmingham
Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.
Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm. Some green belt land can count as grey belt, where it does not strongly serve the green belt's purposes. The council decides this in its green belt assessment or on each application, so we do not mark it here.

Clent conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
