Planning application
The Nook Albert Road Mapperley Nottingham Nottingham City NG3 4JD
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
The tree is a Lime tree at The Nook in Albert Road, NG3 4JD in the Alexandra Park conservation area.? The tree is on the edge of our property at the front of the house (and I therefore assume is our responsibility) but is basically in a public area on the street.? ?We have lived here for just over 2 years and undertstand that the tree was once pollarded but appears to have been allowed to grow since.? On the advice of our tree surgeon, we intend to repollard the lime tree back to the main stem to reduce the weight of the branches that are overhanging the road and our garage. This action is necessary due to the presence of a significant cavity from which four main stems are growing (see attached photo and video). By pollarding the tree, we can alleviate the stress on these branches, which will ultimately help preserve the health and longevity of the tree. Reducing the weight of the branches will minimize the risk of breakage and potential damage, ensuring that the tree remains stable and healthy for years to come.

The process from here
This application is with Nottingham for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
