Protecting Trees and Hedgerows in Dickens Heath
to address growing concerns about the pre-emptive removal of trees and hedgerows ahead of potential planning applications.
The Council has confirmed this is an issue they take seriously. Where such works are identified, they will consider them carefully as part of planning assessments and, where appropriate, through the enforcement process.
Residents can help by reporting concerns:
If tree or hedgerow works appear linked to a live planning application, please highlight this clearly in any consultation response and mark it for the attention of SMBC Landscape and Ecology.
If works are taking place before any application is submitted, please report this directly to the Planning Enforcement Team at: planningenforcement@solihull.gov.uk
Prompt reporting with site-specific details will help officers investigate and, where necessary, take action.
Where should we be looking out for this ??

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️Please be advised that your Parish Council are doing what they can to get the gate on the bridge to the nature reserve opened but are meeting a lot of resistance. For the time being here is the code to the gate....please share it with everyone who would like to use it ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Not being awkward but wasn’t it closed as it wasn’t a public right of way and it’s private property? Please can you confirm that the management company have given you permission to share the gate code.
