Planning application
26/01053/PWC
36 Ebers Road Nottingham Nottingham City NG3 5DZ
Proposal
Proposed Works: Fell to ground level and remove one self-set ash tree (Fraxinus excelsior), approximately 8 metres in height with a DBH of approximately 30cm. The tree has established naturally within a confined space between the boundary fence and adjacent concrete driveway on the front boundary between Nos. 34 and 36. It is heavily covered in ivy from the base to the crown. The tree is considered unsuitable for retention due to its location and the damage it is causing. The adjacent driveway is exhibiting signs of root-induced heave, and roots have encroached into the property, as evidenced by the accompanying photographs. The tree is also in direct conflict with an overhead utility pole carrying approximately 10 BT/Openreach telecommunications lines. Growth has become intertwined with the cables, several of which appear to be under tension, with sections of outer sheathing visibly damaged. Given the ongoing structural damage, root encroachment, and conflict with essential utility infrastructure, removal of the tree is considered the most appropriate and proportionate management option.

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.
