Site constraints 3

Protected tree 9 m away: The County of Northumberland (No. 218 Darras Road, Darras Hall, Ponteland) Tree Preservation Order 1978 - Tree 11, order PKT0449
11 protected trees within 15 m. Named in a tree preservation order: work to it, its roots included, needs the council's consent first.
Root protection areas reach up to 15 m from a large tree, so an extension or new foundations this close usually needs a tree survey. Only some councils publish their single trees, and a position can be approximate: the order at the council is the definitive record, and no tree shown is not proof there is none.
