Planning application
26/01185/PWC
Land To South West Of 36 To 37 Gervase Gardens Nottingham
Proposal
Beech tree - Fell and remove. Tree shown as a red circle on the location plan. Tree sits very close to 35 Gervase Gardens. Roots of the tree are causing structural damage to a property and the danger is also due to the fact that its sits on the edge of a parking area / access to a garage block. The roots are very exposed, there is a dwarf wall close to the tree which is lifting plus a public footpath that is showing signs of cracking the path is used by residents both children and adult some elderly. Planning gave permission in 2025 to reduce the branches by 1.5mtr prior to this work the issue of the root formation had already been raised with Tree Services. The arborist who carried out the work reported that the root formation was of concern to him and considered the tree a danger. He said in adverse weather conditions it has the potential to roll forward. I asked for a written report but unfortunately the poor man had a stroke and was unable to continue working.

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.
