26/01672/PTPO - Works to trees protected by TPO Pending Consideration

Proposal

T1 - Birch: Fell to ground level due to significant physiological decline, including extensive crown dieback, sparse foliage and substantial deadwood throughout the canopy. The tree is located immediately adjacent to an electrical substation and in close proximity to residential property and associated infrastructure. Remedial pruning is not considered appropriate given the extent of decline and the likelihood of continued deterioration. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 4

Recorded mine shaft 21 m away
Reference 453345-002. Building over or close to a mine entry should be avoided, even once it is capped.
From the Mining Remediation Authority, formerly the Coal Authority. The development high risk area marks recorded coal mining features at or near the surface: mine shafts and adits, shallow workings, mine gas and former opencast sites. Most planning applications there need a coal mining risk assessment; householder applications, changes of use and some minor works are exempt. Mine entry positions come from old plans and can be out by several metres, and unrecorded workings can exist anywhere in the coalfield.
Coal mining risk assessments ↗
Air quality management area: AQMA No.2
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
Council record ↗
Radon affected area, class 5
An estimated 10 to 30% of homes reach the radon action level. Indicative for the 1 km square, which takes the highest class found in it; a radon test gives the answer for a building.
From the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency indicative atlas. Under building regulations, as the BRE guide BR 211 (2023) sets out, new buildings and extensions need basic radon protection from class 3 in England and Wales and from class 2 in Scotland, and full protection from class 5. The class at the site itself, from the detailed BGS map, decides which.
