26/00578/TPO - Consent for Works to Preserved Trees Awaiting decision
Trees & landscaping

Proposal

T1 - Ash (Young) (L1/W4) - Section fell tree to ground level. Reasons: This Tree has clear signs of Ash die back and is in decline. This tree is approx 20ft tall. T2 - Beech (L1/W4) - Perform a whole crown reduction by removing up to 2.5m of growth radially and remove deadwood. Reasons: The tree is located very close to the property and is situated in a busy and well used area of the garden. The canopy overhangs the property by 1.5m - 2m and is causing upset with home owner with constant battle of light being blocked out of the property. Reduce amount of leaf fall in rear garden and on building and to reduce the amount of deadwood falling near the property on a regular basis. I am looking to minimize the reasons above and create a better way of life for my client. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 6

Green belt: London
Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.
Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm. Some green belt land can count as grey belt, where it does not strongly serve the green belt's purposes. The council decides this in its green belt assessment or on each application, so we do not mark it here.

Tree preservation order
Consent is needed before work on protected trees.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; 1 listed building within 150 m; Inside the Langley Vale built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site
