26/03084/TCA - Approval for works to trees in CA Awaiting decision
Trees & landscaping

Proposal

Turkey Oak T1 on sketch plan Pollard from 20m to 8m - whole crown reduction to stump of 8m with subsequent growth to be removed on regular basis. An alternative is to remove the tree and replace with an indigenous one suchas Mountain Ash but of three recommendations, two are to pollard. The tree is behind the church and is not visible from the road. It is 4.5m from the church wall and is 20m high so its roots system is causing cracking in spite of a concrete barrier, due to removal of water from the London clay soil. Data via plota.co.uk

The pin is inside its outline · 10 more listed buildings within 150 m (1 Grade II*, 9 Grade II)

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.
Designated open space
Borough-designated open space.
Loss of protected open space is resisted unless it is replaced by space of equal or better quality nearby.
Archaeological priority area: Line of Roman road linking London and Lewes.
An assessment or field evaluation may be asked for before ground works.
The council or Historic England considers archaeology likely here. A desk-based assessment, and sometimes trial trenching, can be asked for with the application.

The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
