With 17 different wards and ‘out of borough’ areas, Solihull Council manages
20 Conservation Areas.

‘
To help and protect and conserve Solihull’s unique character as a 'Town in the Country'.

The local planning authority (LPA) performs consultative assessments to ensure works to protected trees in conservation areas are carefully reviewed, considered, communicated and decided.

‘Any tree, located within a conservation area, over 75mm in diameter at 1.5m above ground level is given automatic protection and no cutting, removal, wilful damage or destruction is allowed without giving prior notification to the Local Planning Authority.’

Detailed planning applications require specific, relevant and accurate information.
Vital to the tree work proposal includes identification of tree species, tree and site location, a sketch plan, photographs, and precise description of the proposed works to be carried out.
 

Small tree care work such as dead wooding, canopy reshaping, felling and branch removal requires consideration and approval before work can commence.

Larger trees and forestry works can involve temporary road closures, road diversions, specialist cranes and tree cutting equipment, and access to neighbouring gardens.

Tree surgery work such as pruning, crown raising, thinning and reduction including felling and dismantling will most definitely involve advice and guidance from an expert arborist and tree surgeon.

Oakland Group works in harmony with all Councils, Local Authorities, Homeowners, and Neighbourhood Community Groups.

Our expert tree surgeon and
​outdoor maintenance teams can help
.


We can provide general advice and guidance on tree surgery, forestry, regular tree care and maintenance, tree planting, and tree management solutions.

We regularly review, submit, and track planning applications for residential and commercial customers to ensure the work carried out meets the standard required and helps protect our environment for the future.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Oakland have to be one of the most proactive businesses we have the pleasure to work with.
​Throughout the years they have always suggested changes in planting, schedule of time to maintain the grounds and continue to be professional experts in their field. I would highly recommend them to anybody who requires dependable service.
