TW/26/1428 - Tree Works in a Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

1. Willow (front garden) trim the hanging branches to 2.5m above the ground as and when required. 2. Sycamore (front boundary, overhanging pavement and drive entrance) remove only 6 of the lower branches, all below 3m from the drive ground level to improve clearance and safety. Remove any dead branches, which often fall on to the garden and pavement. 3. Scots Pine (adjacent to garage) One of the four. Trunk and roots have begun to damage the disabled access ramp leading to the side door. I would like to have this tree removed completely. 4. Remaining Three Scots Pines (front garden) Remove dead branches for safety reasons. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 9

Overstrand 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 1
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Special protection area about 265 m away: Greater Wash
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
3 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin; Registered park or garden about 142 m away: The Pleasaunce, Overstrand; SSSI about 282 m away: Sidestrand and Trimingham Cliffs SSSI; National landscape about 328 m away: Norfolk Coast; Inside the Overstrand 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

Checked on 6 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 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.
