Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Removal of four Ilex aquifolium (Common Holly), stump grinding, and replacement with a native pleached Carpinus betulus (Hornbeam) hedge. The proposal will improve the appearance, functionality and long-term landscape contribution of the frontage while preserving and enhancing the character of the Conservation Area. The four existing holly trees are small specimens of limited arboricultural and amenity value. They display poor form, including irregular crowns, uneven growth and sparse foliage, resulting in a weak and unmanaged appearance. As such, they make only a minor contribution to the streetscape and do not form part of a significant landscape feature, historic planting scheme or important tree group. The proposal represents a clear enhancement rather than a loss of tree cover. The hollies will be replaced with a formally managed pleached hornbeam hedge. Hornbeam is a native species widely used in historic landscapes and Conservation Areas due to its longevity, strong visual structure and excellent tolerance of pruning. The replacement planting will provide a more cohesive and sustainable landscape feature, delivering greater visual amenity, improved frontage screening and a stronger contribution to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.

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.

A cherry tree located in the south-east corner of the garden of 21A CCS, owned by us, has for many years suffered ivy strangulation along the full length of its trunk and also along its branches. We have just had the ivy fully removed and now wish to apply for a crown-fin/crossed branches and a 10% reduction due to the branches sweeping across the house's bay window and upper elevations thereby potentially causing damage and water ingress to the property once we enter autumn/winter. Uploaded with this application are before and after ivy strangulation photographs as well as a hand drawn sketch plan identifying the cherry tree and its location

We wish to cut down the leylandii on the right hand side of our garden. It blocks the sunlight from the Barberry tree that is also growing in our garden as well as the vegetable patches next to the Leylandii. The house was unoccupied for a number of years before we moved in and has grown large and really blocks light. There is already limited light as the garden is overlooked by a number of trees in the neighboring properties.
