Fairfield Newark Road Caunton Newark On Trent NG23 6AE Data via plota.co.uk

26/00891/TWCA - Tree Work In Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

The tree is a large willow tree at the end of the driveway that requires pollarding. It is overdue, so the pollarding is for the health of the tree, and as some of the branches are resting on telephone wires, it will make that safer also. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 6

Caunton 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 397 m away: Great North Road Solar and Biodiversity Park
The site is 397 m from the project boundary. Generating station, awaiting the Secretary of State's decision. Also within 2 km: H2East Pipeline: Humber to Nottinghamshire (at pre-application, 193 m).
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.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
2 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Caunton Grange, Grade II, 56 m away · 1 Grade I, 1 Grade II
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.

Historic England ↗
Also on the record
Inside the Caunton 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.
