Planning application

8 Rectory Gardens Nottingham Nottingham City NG8 2AR

Awaiting decision Nottingham 26/01426/PTPO

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Attached is a site plan RG-T001 which marks up each tree with a reference number T1-T6 Sycamore (T1) - remove any minor shoots where previous lower branches have been removed and seal Sycamore (T2) - remove any minor shoots where previous lower branches have been removed and seal Sycamore (T3) - remove any minor shoots where previous lower branches have been removed and seal Sycamore (T4) - lift the crown of the tree to the northeast side of the tree (furthest from the house) up by approx 4-5m, so the canopy lines matches trees T1-3, T5 and allow more light onto the bottom end of the garden. This portion of the tree is not visible from the road. Sycamore (T5) - remove 4-5 offshoot branches from right fork of tree (when looking from the house) which over hang neighbours garden and are very close to their roof (see photo for additional information) Pine (T6) - proposed to be felled to ground level. Reason: the needles collect and hold dust which severely affects two of the residents who have hay fever and asthma. The tree being a pine is out of keeping with the rest of the sycamore group. It blocks the low level views through the main sycamore trees to the bottom end of the garden. It does not affect the main tree grouping from the road (see marked up photo from the road). Trees are within G1 of TPO 55.

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 this record

Reading the register

This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Nottingham is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.

Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.

    We wish to remove a conifer tree from the bottom left hand corner of our garden it is sited approximately 8ft from the rear of the garden and approximately 2 ft from the left had border. The tree is approximately . The tree is circa 24ft high and 8 ft wide. Its incongruous with the rest of the garden and its removal would give the adjacent silver birches (2) more space to grow. It would also allow for a small shed to be sited at the rear of the garden. Since we moved into this premises ten years ago we have planted 13 trees in the garden, so whilst its never great to have to remove a tree we have really tried to enhance the environment. We have gained a quote from Acorn Tree Services to complete the work if approved.

    Tree 1 Cedrus Deodara It is proposed that routine maintenance of trees as numbered and identified at the above address is carried out by way of crown reduction of between 3-4 metres in height & 1-2 metres in width. In doing so the shape & general health of the trees is to be maintained. Home owner responsibility has identified risk and resulting danger from falling brittle and in some cases dead branches which I would like to address.
