Planning application

The Cottage 1A The Twitchell Chilwell NG9 5BD

Decided Broxtowe 18/00727/CAT Works to Trees in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

T1. Hybrid Poplar Works: Fell to ground level and replace with species to be decided Justification: The tree is a large specimen that has been pollarded or "hat racked" in the past. This poor treatment has resulted in regrowth that is potentially hazardous. Poplar wood is naturally prone to failure and the past treatment has hugely increased the likelihood of branches failing and causing damage, as was demonstrated in recent storm when large branched snapped out. We considered "re-pollarding" the tree as this could reduce the likelihood of failure, however this would be a temporary solution requiring regular expensive tree surgery and the tree would still be hazardous. The tree has reached the end of it Safe Useful Life expectancy and therefore should be removed. T2 White Poplar Works: Fell to ground level and replaced with tree to be decided Justification: The tree has poor form and lost a large branch in recent storms. The removal of T1 would leave the tree exposed and increase the risk of it failing.

About trees applications

How this application type works

Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
