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.

Site constraints 5

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.
Council document ↗
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Inside the Castleton (High Peak) built-up area; the 1970s provisional farmland map 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 11 September 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England 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.
