Planning application

22/01805/PTPO

81 Wilford Crescent West Nottingham Nottingham City NG2 2FT

Refused Nottingham Works to trees protected by TPO

Proposal

Felling of the tree - a Whitebeam - The reasons for wanting to fell the tree are numerous: Low amenity value of the tree - the attached report categorised it as being of "low quality and value"; nuisance and mess caused by nesting birds; impact on the cars that have to be parked below it - from birds, falling branches, sap etc.; close proximity to neighbouring houses - meaning at the very least that a reasonable amount of pruning is now required and will obviously be a job (and financial burden) that will recur in the future; the close proximity is also a worry in terms of potential root damage to the structure of the building; the tree also overshadows both the house and front garden making it difficult to grow anything else in the garden - with the tree gone it would be replaced with smaller scale planting similar to the abundance witnessed in the rear garden of this property.

As published by the council, reference 22/01805/PTPO

What refusal means

The process from here

The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.

Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.

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.
