26/02207/TCA - Work to Trees Awaiting decision

Proposal

Notification of intent to carry out Tree Surgery works to No 3 Tree's within a Conservation Area T1= Lime, 15m in height, re-pollard to old pruning points, leaving tree at 12m. T2 & T3 = Lime trees, 18m in height, pollard by 50% to 9m. These are tall leggy trees. These trees grow directly on the boundary hard against the neighbouring property on Church walk. So this work is to maintain safety to the surrounding properties whilst retaining the trees. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 8

Grade II listed: The Vicarage
List entry 1293236 · 7 m away · 39 more listed buildings within 150 m (1 Grade I, 2 Grade II*, 36 Grade II)
Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.

Historic England ↗
Nutrient neutrality catchment: Parrett Catchment
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.
Crewkerne conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Public footpath 25 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.
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.
