26/02115/TREE - Notification for Works to Trees in CA Approved

Proposal

T1 - cherry - Prune canopy adjacent to overhead telephone lines to provide suitable clearance, removing branch growth by up to 0.5 metres. Prune back to suitable growth points where practicable. T2 - crab apple - Reduce crown in height and lateral spread by up to 1.5 metres, pruning back to suitable growth points and retaining a balanced natural crown. Works are proposed to maintain the tree at a size appropriate to its garden setting. T3 - walnut - Reduce crown in height and lateral spread by approximately 1.5 metres, pruning back to suitable growth points where available and retaining a balanced framework. The tree has become dominant within the garden and the works are intended to reduce its overall size and improve light levels while retaining the tree. T4 - yew - Reduce crown by up to 3 metres in height and up to 1 metre in lateral spread, retaining a balanced crown and suitable live growth. T5 - holly - Reduce crown in height by up to 3 metres, pruning back to suitable growth points where practicable and retaining a balanced crown. T6 - hawthorn - Reduce crown by up to 1.5 metres in height and up to 0.5 metre in lateral spread, pruning back to suitable growth points where practicable and retaining a balanced crown. Works are proposed as part of the ongoing management of T4-T6 to reduce their overall size and alleviate excessive shading. The applicant has raised concerns regarding cracking to the side of the property in proximity to T4 and T5. No assessment of causation is being submitted as part of this application. The proposed works are primarily intended to manage the size of the trees and reduce excessive shading. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 4

Agricultural land, grade 3b
Not best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Source: the Predictive Agricultural Land Classification Map (Defra and Natural England, 2025; the Welsh Government's Predictive ALC Map 2 in Wales), a model rather than a site survey. Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) 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.
