Planning application
26/00642/PWC
1 Alverstone Road Nottingham Nottingham City NG3 5DQ
Proposal
T1 - Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) A large mature horse chestnut located adjacent to and overhanging the public highway and footpath. The tree has previously been subject to crown reduction; however, it has responded poorly, resulting in a sparse canopy with limited vitality. There is extensive deadwood distributed throughout the crown. Fruiting bodies are present at the base of the stem, indicating the presence of decay-associated fungi. This raises concerns regarding potential basal decay and the structural stability of the tree. Given the tree's declining condition, reduced physiological vigour, presence of fungal decay, and direct relationship to high-value targets (public highway and footpath), the tree is considered unsuitable for long-term retention. Fell to ground level

What happens while it is decided
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.
