Proposal
5 mature and overbearing Leylandii trees, positioned at the bottom of the back garden of the property, next to the River Ecclesbourne river defence wall. As they are so large and close (actually pushing against the defence wall) I wish to have them lopped to the ground and removed completely. Due to their size this operation will be done by a tree surgeon, yet to be appointed. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 9
Duffield 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.
In flood zones plus climate change
Inside the extent flood zones 2 and 3 could reach with climate change: the Central allowance for the 2080s on rivers, the Upper End allowance for sea level rise to 2125. From rivers. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Councils use it to decide when a flood risk assessment and the sequential test are needed. It is indicative and does not show whether a particular property will flood.
Also on the record
8 listed buildings within 150 m; Local nature reserve 344 m away: Duffield Millenium Meadow; Radon affected area, class 4; World heritage site 178 m away: Derwent Valley Mills; Flood defence 19 m away (wall, designed for a 1 in 100 year flood); Inside the Duffield built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, 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
