SDNP/26/01808/TPO - Tree Preservation Order Approved

Proposal

Yew Tree. I would like the tree checked for safety and adequate clearance of electric/phone cables. Also pruning to provide adequate clearance for pedestrians and vehicles above the communal carpark. I have contacted a tree surgeon, and he advised starting the planning process before he comes to assess the tree. I would estimate that, similar to the last approved work , a crown lift of 3.5m and pruning of lateral branches up to 2m. I am concerned as cables run through the tree from a post in the road , across my garden and connect to a neighbouring property. Also, some branches overhang the communal carpark.

Site constraints 6

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Solent: Includes Chichester and Langstone Harbours SPA/Ramsar, Solent and Southampton Water SPA/Ramsar, Solent Maritime SAC, Portsmouth Harbour SPA/Ramsar
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
South Downs National Park
The park authority decides applications here. Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Landscape, scenic beauty and wildlife carry great weight, and major development is only allowed in exceptional circumstances.
Habitat network: Network Expansion Zone
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
National infrastructure project 1255 m away: Southampton to London Pipeline Project; Inside the Bishop's Waltham built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 2, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate 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.
