Fell one semi-derelict pear tree. The tree is mis-shapen and does not fruit. It is covered in ivy. It will be felled to ground level. Thestump will not be removed as this would require Scheduled Ancient Monument Consent. Four young fruit tree saplings have already been planted to replace it - two in a gap in a hedgerow and two adjacent tothe stump of an old tree lost in a storm many years ago. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 9

Scheduled monument: Roman station of Bravinium
Scheduled monument consent is needed for any work to it, separate from planning permission.
Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.
Historic England ↗
Nutrient neutrality catchment: River Clun SAC
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.
Special area of conservation 179 m away: River Clun
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
SSSI 179 m away: River Teme 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
5 listed buildings within 150 m; Radon affected area, class 4; Inside the Leintwardine built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) 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
