Planning application

8 Romans Court Nottingham Nottingham City NG6 0HF

Refused Nottingham 23/00026/PTPO Works to trees protected by TPO

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.

Proposal

Tree 8 on 1982 Tree Preservation Map. A lime tree. The tree is in the back garden of 8 Romans Court close to the fence backing on to Church Street. Reduce height by two metres, removing dead and damaged (by squirrels eating bark) branches at the top. There is a possibility that some branches could break loose. The tree is otherwise healthy and removing the top section will improve the shape of the tree and encourage growth in the lower section.

As published by the council, reference 23/00026/PTPO

    Tree Code: Sgl/106736 Species: Beech (Fagus sylvatica) TPO: TPO269 (T10) Works Sectionally fell and remove the Beech tree to ground level. Remove all timber, branches and arising debris from site. Grind out or otherwise remove the stump where practicable, or leave at ground level as directed by the client. Reason for Works The tree is exhibiting significant structural defects and decay, including: Evidence of substantial basal decay associated with fungal activity (Pholiota spp.). Hollow sounding stem indicating internal decay. Two very large historic tear-out wounds, including one approximately 5 metres above ground level. Major limb loss and loss of large branches. Abnormal buttressing and trunk form. Stem decay below the crown break. These defects indicate a significant decline in structural integrity and an increased risk of partial or whole-tree failure. Summary 1 × Beech (Fagus sylvatica) Sectional dismantling and removal of the entire tree due to advanced structural defects and decay.
