Proposal

Application to carry out Tree Surgery Works to No. 1 Tree as shown within the South Somerset District Council (RIMP 1) 1994 Tree Preservation Order. T1 London plane, Replicate historical reduction on Mature London Plane as follow: Remove 3.5 metres of incremental radial growth of the overall canopy spread and reduce apical regrowth by 4 metres from the outer branch tips. Lift lower canopy to create approx. 4 metres of height clearance by removing regrowth from previous crown lifting pruning. The proposed work is to implemented a regimental 6-7 years cyclical pruning to maintain tree size and form by replicate pruning on young regrowth to limit size of cuts therefore reduce as low as possible the collateral impact on the tree's physiological and structural health in compliance with Section 7 of BS 3998 tree pruning guidelines.

Site constraints 3

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.

Agricultural land, grade 3a

Best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Predicted from the national soil map. The older provisional map agrees.

Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 September 2026. 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.
