26/02113/TCA - Work to Trees Awaiting decision

Proposal

Notification of intent to carry out tree surgery works to No.03 trees within a Conservation Area Group of 3 Willow trees arising from same root located in rear garden near to riverbank. This group of 3 trees grow from same root base but have developed into 3 distinct trunks. Each tree is approx 25m high approx 10m wide, all require reduction in height and width, request crown reduction by up to 30% to previous pollarded/last cut levels to approx 10m above ground, this is similar to previously LPA approved crown reduction at this property within last 7 years. Professional tree surgeon advised householder that planning application is required as this is a conservation area, and agrees that he will carry out the work once planning approval has been gained and is in place.

Site constraints 9

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Parrett Catchment
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Ilchester 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 ↗
Scheduled monument 91 m away: Ilchester Roman town
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.
19 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Castle Farmhouse, Grade II, 53 m away · 19 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.
