Planning application
Unity House 35 Church Street Old Lenton Nottingham Nottingham City NG7 2FF
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Large and mature Beech tree on the boundary between 35 Church Street (Unity House) and Holy Trinity Church, it is adjacent to Church Street. In accordance with recommendations made by a tree specialist, we are proposing that the tree in question is felled. The Beech tree has been identified as having extensive fruiting bodies of the fungus Meripilus giganteus (Giant Polypore). This was first identified over 12 months ago, since then fruiting bodies have appeared at the base of the tree and further up the trunk. The persistence of this fungus was confirmed in early January 2023 by a tree specialist from Groveside Tree Specialists. This fungus is known to be extremely dangerous and can cause the tree to become unstable, whilst appearing externally to be perfectly healthy. This Beech tree is very large and is adjacent to a graveyard, local road and a residential/office building (35 Church Street). If this tree were to fall then it could cause significant damage and disruption.

The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
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.
