Felling of a cherry tree in the rear garden. The tree is described as beginning to push on the rear of a boundary wall, impacting the stability of the wall along its length. The wall runs between 11 Grosvenor Avenue and 56 Tavistock Drive and is leaning into the garden on the Tavistock Drive side; the ground level on the Grosvenor Avenue side is 1.2m higher than on the Tavistock Drive side. Remedial works are stated to be required to shore up the wall. The recommendation to fell the tree is provided by GCA Consulting, Consulting Civil Engineers and part of a suite of remedial works to make the wall safe

Installation of external wall insulation.

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.
