3 Clare Valley Nottingham Nottingham City NG7 1BU

Granted Nottingham 24/01856/PTPO Works to trees protected by TPO

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

TPO/00006/23 Chestnut - Crown Lift lower branches by 2-3m & crown thin by approx 25-30 % The tree is mature and is located in back garden, and covers the majority of the garden. Its location is very close to buildings. Some of the lower branches are close to touching buildings. A crown lift and thin would allow more light in and onto the surrounding shrubs and hedges and property whilst maintaining its original shape and not creating a negative impact on its amenity value on the area. This would allow the residents to allow a little more light into their gardens and properties and continue to enjoy the tree.

    3 Clare Valley Nottingham Nottingham City NG7 1BU

    T1 - Horse Chestnut - Given the trees overall size within what is essentially a small garden in comparison and the close proximity to adjacent properties there is a combined agreement and wanting between #3,4,5 Clare Valley and #3 Tattershall Drive that they wish the tree to be removed on the grounds of its over bearing nature in its environment to allow more light into the properties and gardens and to help alleviate damp and darkness inside the properties. The tree has previously been pollarded and not been shown any attention in the years preceding the works, no aerial inspection has taken place but water staining can been seen around the main pollard point indicating a bowl at the unions and a possible cavity. The bending stresses on a pollarded union are much higher than of a stem formed from sapling growth as they inherently have weaker fibre bonds due to the nature in which they grown from the cut stem and from growth nodes around the cut site. A tree is most within its safety factor when one canopy occupies many branches and one main stem, the more stems there are there is an increased risk of failure due to higher sail age in the canopy and timber weight, this is exaggerated more so if the main stem is beginning to hollow around the union site, with this information and the overall age of the specimen being in the 50-60 year category it is of higher risk of failure due to its structure and age and in the target area poses a hazard to its surroundings if failure occurs.

    A previous tree Survey was carried out in October 2023, I am applying for the works that have been shown in this survey with some minor additions. I am also applying for works requested by the Park estate management to help keep Park Valley road clear for vehicle. Works Referred/Recommended within tree survey: G001: Remove dead central Leylandii stem. G004: Remove 4 self set Sycamores to prevent future problems with park valley road. T014: Elms has large amount of epicormic at base which appears to of been maintained previously and is due a manageable retrim as it is starting to interfere with others trees. T015: Korean pine dead to be removed. T018: Sycamore canopy raise up to 5.2 meters clear highway for vehicle access. T020: Robinia canopy raise up to 5.2 meters clear highway for vehicle access. T022: Remove Ash tree diagnosed with die back, I have re-assessed and can confirm it has further deteriorated. T028: Clear lower epicormic growth up to 3 meters only on main stem. Other works not mentioned in report: Major Deadwood Oak and 3 lime trees identified to have large deadwood in canopy. Remove 3 large clumps of Ivy within garden not visible to public, to prevent too much spread of Ivy. Sever Ivy at base of all larger trees. Remove 1 stem of twin stemmed holly which is leaning significantly into highway. Trim back overhanging shrubbery (this is the regular trimmed mixed hedge) back to boundary up to 5.2 meters along Park valley road. I have been unable to attach the full report as it is over the 10mb threshold, I have taken what I believe to bee the relevant parts of the survey. if you require the Full report, please don't hesitate to contact myself or the property owner.

    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.
