26/00686/TPO - Tree Preservation Order Approved

Proposal

T1 Copper Beech - 30% crown reduction approximately 3m from tips. Reason: The location offers considerable impact on the rear garden. Without size management the tree would ultimately completely cover the garden preventing light and growing of plants etc. It is proposed to manage the tree with cyclical crown reductions to control canopy size and prevent gross conflict with the owners use of their garden. Raise canopy to 6m to clear traffic using the road and create a balanced form. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 5

Barwell A 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 ↗
National infrastructure project 810 m away: Hinckley National Rail Freight Interchange
The site is 810 m from the project boundary. Rail freight interchange, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
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.

Also on the record
1 listed building within 150 m; Inside the Barwell 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. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate 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.
