26/0068 - Works to Trees Dead or Dangerous Approved

Proposal

T1 Oak - Fell Further Works required under the previous exemption under 26/0059 - BWB 11 16-07-26 1 Oak near the properties is looking sparse on leaf and may require more remedial action in coming year The Works were unable to be achieved as the Tree Surgeon could access the tree safely, and when a climb by the arborist it was deemed again unsafe due to the stability of the tree due to base rot. We seek permissions to fell the tree due to safety concerns regarding the resident and home in close proximity. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 6

Dartmoor 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.

Priority habitat: No main habitat but additional habitats present

A habitat of principal importance. It shapes the ecology work and the biodiversity net gain a scheme has to show.

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.

Also on the record

Inside the Bittaford 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
