Proposal

T1 - Oak: The oak tree exhibits significant decay within the main stem and has previously suffered a major limb failure, resulting in substantial canopy loss. The tree is now leaning towards the adjacent property. Reduce to a monolith at approximately 2 metres (5/6 feet) in height for habitat purposes. T2, T3, T4 and T5 - Oaks (Group of 4): These mature oak trees overhang the neighbouring property (Beeridge and Co Builders Ltd). Works are required to mitigate risk from falling branches and manage overall size. Crown reduction by 2/3 metres. Final finished height: approximately metres. Final crown spread: approximately 9/11 metres T6 - Ash (multi-stem): This ash tree is affected by ash dieback and is in decline. There is evidence of previous limb failure, significant deadwood, and a large suspended branch. Heavy pollard reduction by approximately 4/5 metres. Final finished height: approximately metres. Final crown spread: approximately 6/8 metres… Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 9

Registered park or garden: Sandleford Priory
Nationally designated heritage. Its significance and setting carry great weight.
Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.
Historic England ↗
Heritage at risk: Sandleford Priory
On the register of historic places assessed as at risk.
A designated building, monument, park or conservation area assessed as at risk from neglect, decay or development. Proposals that secure its future are looked on favourably.
Historic England ↗
Habitat network: Restorable Habitat
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
SSSI 140 m away: Greenham and Crookham Commons 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
Tree preservation order 12 m away: 201/21/0308 - G1; Inside the Newbury built-up area; Priority habitat 34 m away: Deciduous woodland; Open access land 24 m away: Access Land - Combined Open Country, Registered Common Land and Section 16 Dedicated Land. MoD Byelaw, Section 28 Exclusions, Racecourses and Aerodromes and ECP Margin have been removed.; 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 listed building 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.
