P262077/K - Works to Trees in a Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

Large poplar tree about 15 m tall at the bottom of the back garden situated approx 30+ meters from house needs to be taken down. Part of the tree was affected by fire some years ago and tree health is not good. The tree has become too tall to manage and there is a danger of it coming down if not dealt with.

Site constraints 8

Nutrient neutrality catchment: River Wye SAC (River Lugg SSSI)

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.

Orleton 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 ↗

Priority habitat: Traditional orchard

A habitat of principal importance. It shapes the ecology work and the biodiversity net gain a scheme has to show.

Habitat network: Traditional orchards

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

Also on the record
