Beech Cottage 1 The Glade Crapstone PL20 7PR Data via plota.co.uk

2036/26/TPO - Works to a TPO Tree Approved

Proposal

TPO S323; Tree 1: Copper Beech - Sensitive whole crown reduction to above ground level to live growth points. Crown lift to 4/5m above ground level to live growth points. This will leave the crown balanced and compact, subsequently reducing interference to neighbouring properties, shared service road, overhead cables and provide sufficient clearance to residential dwelling. Tree 2 & Tree 3: European Beech:- Remove Trees to Ground Level. Lopsided growth causing lean towards neighbouring property. Both trees are inhibiting balanced growth to Tree 1 (Copper Beech) and both trees extend over service road and neighbouring property. There is no plan for replanting replacement trees due to the inappropriate location of existing trees. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 5

Tamar Valley National Landscape
Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.
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.
UKHSA radon ↗
National park about 116 m away: Dartmoor
Outside the park; its setting can still be raised.
Landscape, scenic beauty and wildlife carry great weight, and major development is only allowed in exceptional circumstances.
Also on the record
Inside the Crapstone built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, 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 scheduled monument at the site

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
