T8 of TPO3 - FellingReason: T8 is a mature Horse Chestnut situated at 76 Cyprus Road, Mapperley Park, Nottingham.The tree has been in decline for several years and has now failed to produce any foliage during the current growing season, indicating that it is dead. The tree exhibits significant deterioration throughout the crown and recent branch failures have occurred during periods of strong wind.Several branches have detached and fallen within the property. Whilst no damage or injury has occurred to date, the continuing loss of branches demonstrates that the tree presents an increasing risk to adjacent property, the public highway, neighbouring land and persons using those areas.Given the tree's condition and the evidence of recent structural failure, the proposed works are to fell T8 to ground level in the interests of public safety and to remove the foreseeable risk of further branch or stem failure. Photographs showing the condition of the tree and recent branch failures are submitted in support of this notice.
