PL/2026/06528 - Notification of proposed works to trees in a conservation area Submitted
Trees & landscaping

Proposal

T1 Hazel - Remove north easterly stem at point of bifurcation with upright main stem. This is due to a poor included bark section at point of separation (see pic 2) and excessive shading to a small but well maintained garden (see pic 1). Then reduce height of the remaining central stem up by 1.5-2m depending on its appearance after the loss of the other stem but also to raise the canopy up to 2m and thin out canopy to allow more light/dappled light into garden. Also to reduce/remove large over-extended limbs on the north westerly elevation that are very close to the student accommodation building of Salisbury College that is adjacent to the property (see pic 3).

Site constraints 10

14 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin
Nearest: 23-35, St Martin's Church Street, Grade II, about 4 m from the postcode pin · 1 Grade I, 2 Grade II*, 11 Grade II
The site itself is not listed. 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.
Show all 14 with distances
Historic England ↗
Nutrient neutrality catchment: River Avon SAC
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.
Salisbury 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 ↗
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Public footpath about 28 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.
Special area of conservation about 303 m away: River Avon
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; SSSI about 303 m away: Britford Water Meadows SSSI; Inside the Salisbury built-up area; Air quality management area about 52 m away: Salisbury City Centre AQMA.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 13 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency (radon, contains BGS materials © UKRI) 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.
