8 Rookery Lane Wolverhampton West Midlands WV2 4PU
Received 16 May 2026 - Decided26/00545/TN
Description of Trees and Proposed Works - note there is no TPO on the trees in question.T1 (Sycamore), T2 (Elder), and T3 (Elder): This application proposes the felling to ground level of a tight cluster of three self-seeded trees (T1, T2, and T3) situated in the narrow gap between the property boundary and the existing garage. T3 is in direct physical contact with the garage brickwork and is currently suppressing the eaves and guttering. T1 and T2 are multi-stemmed specimens located within the immediate root protection area of the structure. The removal is required to facilitate a garage conversion; the current proximity of these trees makes the necessary foundation reinforcement and structural upgrades impossible without compromising both the stability of the trees and the long-term integrity of the building. These trees are of low amenity value and their removal will not negatively impact the character of the Tettenhall Wood Conservation Area.Work: Fell to ground level and grind stump.
