26/00429/PWC - Works to trees in Conservation Areas Approved

Proposal

1. Front garden - a very large completely dead silver birch needs removing. 2. Back garden - a partial broken pine tree which has partly fallen on the roof of an out building needs removal and then dead branches need trimming. 3. Back garden - we wish to fell and removed the very large row of overgrown leylandii that form an L shape behind the pool building and to the right of the pool building. they are tall, stretched and multi-stemmed. they are beginning to split out during high winds. They totally dominate the garden aesthetically and block the sky. we wish to replant with a more appropriate boundary hedge and one or two small ornamental trees. The young leyandii to the rear of the garden and to the left of the gate we wish to reduce in height by 40% to just above the height of the archway. 4. Back garden - the beech trees to the rear of the house on the left neighboring 602, need a gentle crown raise to prevent damage to the houses gutters and balcony and let some light get to the lawn. Only the six lowest dangly branches. Data via plota.co.uk

The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
Council record ↗
Local nature reserve about 86 m away: Wollaton Park
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Registered park or garden about 85 m away: Wollaton Hall
Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.
Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.

Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 September 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
