Pitcher And Piano High Pavement Nottingham Nottingham City NG1 1HN Data via plota.co.uk

26/01015/PWC - Works to trees in Conservation Areas Approved

Proposal

Reduce the 2 London Plane trees to previous points (approximately a 4 metre crown reduction) due to a recent branch failure and remove any dead branches. Also remove the Ivy from the trunk of T1. The trees are very large and dominate the beer garden and adjacent highway and the beer garden and highway are in a high use area of the city center. We request permission to carry out the works to reduce the chance of any other branch failures which could cause injury to members of the public from these large trees in such a high use area.
