NP26/0898 - Conservation Area Tree Work REGISTERED: Under Assessment

Proposal

T1 Copper Beech Prominent tree situated at front of property. Previously reduced in 2021 following tree report and QTRA recommendations for crown reduction due to large cavity in main stem. Significant regrowth since then. Work proposed to reduce encroachment on the building, and give good clearance over the pavement and the road. 1 • Reduce away from the house to give 2 metres clearance. 2 • Crown raise the canopy appropriately, to a height of approximately 4 metres from the ground level to give good clearance from the road. 3 • Crown reduce the tree sensitively by approximately 1.5 metres, back to suitable pruning points and leaving a balanced crown.

Peak District National Park

The park authority decides applications here. Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.

Landscape, scenic beauty and wildlife carry great weight, and major development is only allowed in exceptional circumstances.

Castleton 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.

14 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin

Nearest: The George, Grade II, about 2 m from the postcode pin · 1 Grade II*, 13 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 ↗

Scheduled monument about 82 m away: Town defences 270m north and 350m north east of Peveril Castle

Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.

Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.

Historic England ↗

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

Radon affected area, class 6

An estimated 30% or more of homes reach the radon action level. Indicative for the 1 km square, which takes the highest class found in it; a radon test gives the answer for a building.

From the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency indicative atlas. Under building regulations, as the BRE guide BR 211 (2023) sets out, new buildings and extensions need basic radon protection from class 3 in England and Wales and from class 2 in Scotland, and full protection from class 5. The class at the site itself, from the detailed BGS map, decides which.

UKHSA radon ↗

SSSI about 117 m away: Castleton SSSI

Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.

Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.

Also on the record

Heritage at risk about 67 m away: Church of St Edmund, Back Street; National infrastructure project about 965 m away: Peak Cluster CCS Pipeline, at pre-application; Inside the Castleton (High Peak) 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

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
