Long Meadow Land North Of 61 Park Lane Histon Cambridgeshire Data via plota.co.uk

26/0551/TTPO - Works to TPO trees Approved
Trees & landscaping

Proposal

T18: Horse Chestnut - Reduce 3 long lateral limbs by 3 metres. These are the large limbs which reach East, North, and South. T22: Horse Chestnut - Reduce the height of the tree by up to 7 metres, reduce 1 lateral limb reaching North East by up to 5 metres, reduce remaining lateral limbs by 2 - 2.5 metres. Reason for works: the safety of users of Park Lane and Long Meadow. Long Meadow is open to the public and the trees are close enough to fall onto the highway. Professional inspection has shown decay and splits in the trees. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 7

Green belt: Cambridge
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.
Tree preservation order: HISTON Meadow Farm and Park Lane
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.
Public footpath 17 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Agricultural land, grade 2
Best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Source: the Predictive Agricultural Land Classification Map (Defra and Natural England, 2025; the Welsh Government's Predictive ALC Map 2 in Wales), a model rather than a site survey. Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s), which most planning maps still show, had this area as grade 3. The predicted grade is Defra's current estimate; only a site survey settles it.
Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.
Also on the record
Nature recovery project: Cambridge Core Area; Conservation area 58 m away: Histon And Impington - Histon Village; Priority habitat 34 m away: Deciduous woodland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 September 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England 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.
