Proposal

Fell Horse Chestnut. The tree has been inspected by James Jesson from the woodland trust. He has reported that the tree is 80% dead. it has the decease Phytophthora. It has extensive rot around the base 2 3/4. Had previous failures and needs to be taken down before it falls and causes substantial damage The tree overhangs a public foot path and backs on to the tropical house of Woodthorpe Park. If the tree were to fall it could cause major damage to Woodthorpe Park greenhouses. I have already sent evidential pictures to the council.

    Nottingham City Council proposes to undertake various arboricultural works to Council-managed trees within conservation areas. Works include crown lifting and selective pruning to provide clearance from footways, highways and traffic signs; targeted crown reductions to address structural defects and declining upper crowns; removal of dead and defective branches; and the sectional felling of a declining Ginkgo, followed by stump removal and replacement planting. The works are proposed for tree safety, appropriate tree management and highway/public access purposes, as detailed within the accompanying tree works schedule.

    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.
