Trees & landscaping

Proposal

T1 - Acer platanoides - Crown reduce the height of the tree by 2M and lateral spread by 2M (back to historic pruning cuts). Raise canopy to 3M by removing secondary lateral growth leaving major scaffold limb. Reason - The tree is in close proximity to the house and neighbouring house, creates excessive shading to the rear patio Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 5

Melbourn 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 ↗
17 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: 97 and 99 High Street and 1 Meeting Lane, Grade II, 19 m away · 1 Grade II*, 16 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.
Show all 17 with distances
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.
Also on the record
Inside the Melbourn built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 2, 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 15 October 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.
