R26/0200 - Trees in conservation area Approved

Proposal

T1 Fir, cut to ground. Trees roots have lifted paving in the rear garden to the extent that the path is now unusable,(see photo), and a potential hazard. Trees removal is in conjunction with stump grinding and also a renovation of the property as a whole in order to maintain the property and garden at a safe and useable standard to let. Trees removal is is not visible from a public area and is insignificant in terms of the character of the conservation area. Data via plota.co.uk

Council record ↗
National infrastructure project 66 m away: Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal
The site is 66 m from the project boundary. Rail freight interchange, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: The Grand Union Canal Transfer (at pre-application, 993 m).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
