Flat 1, 350 Mansfield Road, Nottingham, NG5 2EF

Erection of a single-storey rear extension, measuring 5.2 metres deep from the original rear wall (eaves height 2.6m, max height 3.1m), sitting adjacent to and flush with the existing extension approved under reference 13/00327/PFUL3

Remove roots and install a root barrier along the road-side boundary of the tennis courts at Mapperley Park Tennis Club. Works comprise excavation of a 300mm wide trench to a depth of 1m, clean pruning of any roots encountered, installation of a Geosynthetics RootBlock barrier, and reinstatement of the affected surfacing. The works are intended to prevent further root-related damage to the court surface and address existing trip hazards. All excavation and root pruning shall be undertaken in accordance with BS 5837:2012, with advance notice given to Tree Services to allow supervision of any significant root pruning. On balance, the works represent a pragmatic solution to ongoing infrastructure damage whilst seeking to minimise impacts on the adjacent trees.
