Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
3 Lime trees on my property from TPO434, G1, and marked on my sketch plan as a, b, c. i. Remove the significant epicormic growth at the base of trees a, b, c. This hinders access and movement around these areas of the garden, and is unsightly. ii. Remove the lighter epicormic growth up to the crown (3-4m above ground level) to restore the clean trunk. iii. Remove a damaged/broken branch on tree b. This previously horizontal branch appears to have been cut back initially, and then broken where it meets the trunk, by a neighbour. It is still attached to the trunk, but now hangs vertically down against it. 1 Lime tree on my neighbour's property (ie 30 Charles Avenue, NG9 2SH) from TPO434, G1, and marked on my sketch plan as d. i. Cut back the epicormic growth on tree d to the property boundary, for the same reasons given above. I would like permission to repeat the above work if/as required, for the following 5 years.

Abbey Lodge Charles Avenue Nottingham Nottingham City NG9 2SY
Trees are situated on Abbey lodge retirement village, land owned by Stone water Housing association Tpo 77 Lime tree group approximately 27 trees. The trees are very tall for where they are situated with narrow trunks for their height and have extremely long crown limbs. Trees of this height have a higher risk of wind exposure, there have been previously storm damaged trees that have fallen on the adjacent houses in the last year. We would please like permission to pollard the trees down to a height of 6 meters to match the adjacent row. This would reduce risk of failure and eliminate the potential for buiding damage keeping neighbours and residents safe. Please find attached arial map highlighting the trees in red and photographs evidencing recent storm damage. Tpo 442 T1 Hornbeam Tree has a significantly large wound located at its base around 2.5 meters in length. We would please like permission to proportionality reduce the tree by 20% mainly on its east side to ease stress on the crown. Tree highlighted in Blue on the attached arial map. Please see the attached photo of wound. Tpo 442 T5 Lime tree Tree has been prevously pollarded we would like permission for a repollard back to the historic pruning points to remove the long epicormic growth. Tree highlighted in yellow on arial map. Please see attached photograph of tree.

Woodthorpe House, Sherwood Community Centre Mansfield Road Nottingham Nottingham City NG5 3FN
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.
