Planning application

33 Richmond Drive Nottingham Nottingham City NG3 5EL

Granted Nottingham 23/00510/PWC Works to trees in Conservation Areas

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Tree as identified on the submitted plan. I believe it is an Oak tree? I have been advised by several tree surgeons that the tree / trunk in question is dead and it is best that it be totally removed as it will decay further and become dangerous and more difficult to remove. I purchased the house in June 2021 with the tree already severely cropped as in the submitted photo. My neighbour informs me the upper part of the tree collapsed into her garden.

    T1 - Conifer - fell to ground level. Previously topped to gain more light to the driveway. It now overhangs and encroaches the drive, and has become too large for its location. Felling would open up the entrance to the tight up hill drive, making access easier. T2 - Conifer - fell to ground level. Starting to move the stone wall on the banking.

    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.
