i have noticed that this is happening on the front tyre (see pic its basically the front section of the nobble pealing away) but on ever single nobbley bit around the centre line? ride on the road constantly so just wondering what causes this and if its a problem never seen anything like it before.

I'd say you've ripped bits off under load, probably braking hard. Happens on block treads under high shear forces. Smaller blocks can get ripped right off. Grooved road tyres will be higher one side of the groove than the other.

Only riding on tarmac? Next time you get tyres get some decent road touring rubber put on.
