Planning Application Details

The 4 trees are in the grounds of Bromford Dale, Albert Road, Wolverhampton, WV6 0BA and are adjacent to the boundary with my property at 12 Avondale Road. The trees are limes and create excessive shading of my garden if not regularly maintained. In 2018 I obtained permission from the owners of Bromford Dale, Bromford Homes, to carry out some work to reduce the shading created by the trees if I obtained permission from the local authority as the trees are protected by TPOs. I duly applied to the Planning Dept. of Wolverhampton City Council and was granted permission to lift the crowns to 6m and remove epicormic growth. I appointed an approved tree surgeon (Nick Sims, Tettenhall Tree Surgery) to carry out the work. Because the lime trees produce profuse epicormic growth, this needs to be removed every couple of years to reduce the shading it creates. I contacted the planning dept. again in 2020 to allow the removal of new epicormic growth below the crown. This was permitted on the basis that the previous permit had not expired. I am now reapplying for permission for the tree surgeon to again remove the new epicormic growth below the crown from the 4 trees.
