Planning application

Elmhurst, Flat 1 Cavendish Road East Nottingham Nottingham City NG7 1BB

Awaiting decision Nottingham 24/02142/PWC Works to trees in Conservation Areas

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Tall holly tree (tree #1 on the attached sketch plan) situated immediately to the south of the very tall mature beech tree (tree #2 on the attached sketch plan) at the east end of our property, close to Holles Crescent, and quite close to the boundary of Ashley Bungalow. The holly tree is growing at an angle towards the south, and interferes with the mature beech tree. Work for which planning permission is requested: to reduce the holly tree from its current height of approx 15 metres to approx 6 metres, so that it is (a) stable, i.e. not growing at an angle (b) no longer interfering with the growth of the lower branches of the beech tree.

    Client has a mature sycamore in the rear garden bordering number 29/31, which they wish to be reduced in size. I have inspected the sycamore and the lateral limbs are getting long with substantial weight building up on them. i have suggested a two to three meter full crown reduction to reduce the strain on the laterals and match with the height. The sycamore has had a high crown raise previously so removing anymore lower growth would create a top heavy canopy i would advise against this as an alternative. Sycamore is healthy with a well grown canopy suggested against removal. requesting permission for 2-3 meter (varying between limbs) full crown reduction.

    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.
