Summary
The applicant is seeking permission to remove one tree at The Coppice on High Oakham Road. The tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), which means the council must give approval before any work can take place. The site is in a built-up residential area. Around 125 homes sit within a couple of minutes' walk. High Oakham Primary School is a couple of minutes' walk away, and a place of worship is a few minutes' walk to the south. TPO trees are protected because they add value to the local area — whether through appearance, shade, or wildlife habitat. The council will weigh the reasons for removal against the tree's value to the neighbourhood.
What you can do
You can submit comments through Mansfield District Council's planning portal using reference 2026/0145/TPO. The council can consider the tree's condition, its amenity and ecological value, and the reasons given for its removal. They can also impose replanting conditions. Comments must relate to planning matters rather than personal preferences.
