26/00318/TCA - Tree in Conservation Area Approved
Trees & landscaping

Proposal

Ash tree situated adjacent to Avon Navigation building and public footpath. Fell to as near to surrounding ground level as possible. Reason for work: The tree is a poor specimen. It has previously been pruned approximately 10 metres above ground level. The tree has cavities at ground level and is leaning more than when previously inspected last year. Water aggression to the roots due to the river consistently flooding. If the tree was to fail it will damage the fence and adjacent building. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 10

Flood zone 3, rivers and sea
High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.
Flood map ↗
Tewkesbury Conservation Area conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
15 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin
Nearest: King John's Bridge, Grade II*, about 49 m from the postcode pin · 3 Grade II*, 12 Grade II
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.

Historic England ↗
Also on the record
SSSI about 277 m away: Severn Ham, Tewkesbury SSSI; Radon affected area, class 2; Flood defence about 13 m from the postcode pin (natural high ground); Inside the Tewkesbury built-up area; Priority habitat about 32 m away: No main habitat but additional habitats present; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency (radon, contains BGS materials © UKRI) and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
