Planning application

59 Lucknow Avenue Nottingham Nottingham City NG3 5AZ

Withdrawn Nottingham 23/00181/PWC Works to trees in Conservation Areas

Works: Trees

Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.

Proposal

The tree is a very tall silver birch (T1) located on the left hand side of the rear garden looking west from Lucknow Avenue. The tree leans at a precarious angle (about 25 degrees from the vertical) and the roots are perched on a crumbling rockery bank. If the tree should fall it is in danger of reaching our neighbors garden and may pose a risk to the small child living there. We would replace this silver birch with a new sapling of the same species, plant it close to the existing tree's position but on a more stable, flat piece of ground (we have already planted four silver birches and three fruit trees during our time at this address). We have today had advice and a quotation from (Lee at) Charnwood Tree Services and would like to proceed with the felling to ground level of this tree as soon as is possible. Regards, R L Toynton.

    Reduce the height of 4 silver birch trees by approximatley 3m to retain the trees at a height of 7m. The trees T1, T2, T3 and T4 are located at the bottom of our rear garden. They are approximately 30' to 40' high and are approximately 10' to 15 ' from our neighbor's property at 7, Old Hall Drive. We had no idea that these trees would reach such a height when we originally planted them. Both we and our neighbors believe these may pose a threat of damage to their property.

    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.
