Awaiting decision Nottingham 25/00346/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

Number on Plan Description T8 Remove pollarded Lime. To prevent further damage and blockage by root ingress into sewer that runs within a few feet of the tree. [Original permission (Ref 16/02312/PWC) was to fell the tree, due to damage by roots to drains and sewers. A sewer in the drive, within a few feet of the tree, provides foul drainage for three properties including ours. Pollarding was undertaken in 2016 as an interim measure to see if it reduced sewer problems whilst retaining the tree. Further pollarding was undertaken in early 2021, with permission (21/00006/PWC)] T7 Remove branches of mature sycamore overhanging pedestrian access path/steps to front of house. Pigeons roost in these branches, depositing large amounts of excreta on to the path, making it slippery and unpleasant to walk on. Pressure cleaning of the path and side wall have to be undertaken regularly.

    Fell Walnut. To the rear of our property there is a very old and dying walnut tree in our neighbours garden on Lucknow Drive. In the last six weeks it has moved from vertical to 45 degrees and is now leaning on our garden shed. It needs urgent attention before it collapses completely through the shed roof. The owner of the property is elderly and infirm and we have his permission to contact you and have the work carried out.

    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.
