Awaiting decision Nottingham 24/01637/PWC Works to trees in Conservation Areas

Works: Trees Small domestic

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

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

1) Tree species: Acer Palmatum (see photographs) 2) Please see supporting plan of garden and photographs. The Acer is marked with a red ?X?. It is the only tree in the plan. 3) From the centre of the tree to the main building the distance is approximately 4.9m. 4) The tree's branches currently hang over the decking area to the front of the plan, the existing planting to the right and left of the plan. The existing planting therefore cannot receive enough light. The branches to the left also now hang over the neighbouring left fence, blocking light to the neighbouring garden. 5) The proposal is to remove/prune the branches to leave a radius of 1.8m of the tree. This is to allow a 3m clearance to the building. Crown lift to 3m. Prune the Crown to the height of the building.

    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.
