Sutton Coldfield protected-tree context
Four Oaks, Anchorage Road and High Street conservation areas make tree-protection checks especially relevant in Sutton Coldfield
Birmingham's current conservation-area list includes three named Sutton Coldfield areas: Four Oaks, Anchorage Road and High Street. Trees in conservation areas receive automatic protection above the relevant thresholds, while individual trees elsewhere can also be covered by Tree Preservation Orders, so the address should be checked before pruning or felling is booked.
Conservation-area tree work normally needs six weeks' written notice
Birmingham City Council says trees in conservation areas are automatically protected and that proposed work normally requires six weeks' written notice to the local planning authority. For a Sutton Coldfield property in Four Oaks, Anchorage Road or High Street, establish conservation status before fixing a start date.

A Tree Preservation Order requires a formal consent route
Birmingham's planning guidance says pruning or felling a tree covered by a Tree Preservation Order requires consent. Ask the tree surgeon to identify the tree accurately and agree who will prepare any application, specification or supporting evidence before work is scheduled.
