26/P/0964/TPO - Works to TPO Refused

Proposal

Beech (T1) Crown reduction by up to 1.5mtrs to south west side of crown only (over hanging the garden of number 74 Claverham road) Reason: These works areas for due to excess leaf drop as the tree has grown over the garden and now is affecting the owner of the property capability to enjoy and grow plants successfully. The tree shows signs of normal physiological health and removing less than 5% of the trees foliage will have little effect to this trees health. Beech trees do not recover normal from large wounds however these works will leave no large wounds due to no pruning cuts above 5cm in diameter. These work will have minimal effect to the trees Amenity Value when viewing from Claverham Road. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 6

Local nature reserve 227 m away: Cadbury Hill
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
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.

Also on the record

Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site
