Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 Acer Pseudoplatanus, insufficient rooting area with a poor quality soil substrate contributing to a reduced overall lifespan coupled with a decreased ability to withstand biotic and abiotic factors. T1 Shows an unfavourable safety of 1.29, accepted calculated safety factor is 1.5. To increase the Safety factor to the 1.5 will require a reduction of a minimum of 2m (8% reduction in height), however with the previously passed cyclical lateral reduction to ensure 1.5m of clearance from the building there is the high likelihood that the combined reduced canopy area will severly compromise the trees health. T2 Acer Pseudoplatanus, insufficient rooting area with a poor quality soil substrate contributing to a reduced overall lifespan coupled with a decreased ability to withstand biotic and abiotic factors. T2 Shows an unfavourable safety of 0.9, accepted calculated safety factor is 1.5. The level of height reduction required to increase the safety factor to 1.5 would require a 4m height reduction, resulting in a significant loss of photosynthetic area and would compromise the tree's health severely. T002 has a non-tolerable risk level when utilising The VALID methodology of Tree risk/benefit and a Tolerable by Agreement risk level if using QTRA. As we cannot impart an "agreement" with passing vehicles or pedestrians this risk level must be downgraded to "risk will not ordinarily be tolerable".

24/02217/PWC Granted
Royal Standard House Standard Hill Nottingham Nottingham City NG1 6FX
Removal of 4 Sycamore trees T4-T7 along the southern slope, so far one tree is showing signs of decline caused Cryptostroma corticale and given the proximity to each other and the limited soil volume, infection and death of all the maple species along this line is highly probable. Given the brittle nature of timber in trees that have died from this and the negative effects on the health of workers exposed to the spores of this disease, it is recommended that they be removed during the wetter winter months.
