Elm House 32 Elm Bank Drive Nottingham Nottingham City NG3 5AL

Granted Nottingham 23/01556/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

There are 2 trees that require works - a Taxus (yew tree) and a IIex (holly tree). Both trees require crown lift to provide 3m clearance for pedestrians on public payment and to provide more light into the garden. Also need to relieve pressure of limb from a retaining wall. Crown thinning (10-20%), and prune to clear phone.

    TPO350: Sycamore (T1-T4) Large mature sycamores within a confined residential setting. Lower branches are encroaching into neighbouring gardens and towards nearby buildings. The proposed works involve lifting and selectively reducing the lowest branches to provide reasonable clearance from boundaries and structures. Works will be carried out using target pruning to suitable growth points, retaining the trees' natural form, amenity value and overall crown structure. The works are considered proportionate and appropriate to manage encroachment, improve the relationship between the trees and surrounding properties, and reduce the need for more extensive pruning in the future. T1: Remove the two lowest encroaching branches back to the main stem. T2 & T3: Remove the two lowest encroaching branches back to the main stem and reduce the next three branches by approximately 2 to 3 metres using target pruning. T4: Remove the four lowest encroaching branches back to the main stem and reduce the next three branches by approximately 2 to 3 metres using target pruning. T5 Ash (self-set): Reduce branches as necessary to provide 3 metres clearance from the building and roofline using target pruning.

    There is a large evergreen tree (holly tree) on the boundary between the back of our house and Burnham House on 6 Elm Bank, Nottingham NG3 5AJ. It is not subject to a TPO. The neighbours had the tree reduced in height some time ago, but since then, the branches of the tree have grown considerably and cross the boundary line by 1 metre or more. I would like to prune the overhanging branches back to the boundary line. The neighbours have been informed of my intentions.
