26/03275/CPN - Work to tree(s) in Conservation Area Pending Consideration

Proposal

T1 - Horse Chestnut Tree - Fell, leaving a monolith at 6ft for habitat - The tree is showing significant signs of decline, including extensive decay at the base of the stem and areas of peeling bark. The tree is also affected by Phytophthora. Due to the extent of basal decay and the associated deterioration in the condition of the tree, removal is considered necessary on safety and tree health grounds. The tree has been inspected and assessed by Shaun Wilkinson of the Parks Department, who has recommended that the tree be felled. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 9

Coal mining development high risk area
Recorded coal mining features at or near the surface. Most planning applications here need a coal mining risk assessment.
From the Mining Remediation Authority, formerly the Coal Authority. The development high risk area marks recorded coal mining features at or near the surface: mine shafts and adits, shallow workings, mine gas and former opencast sites. Most planning applications there need a coal mining risk assessment; householder applications, changes of use and some minor works are exempt. Mine entry positions come from old plans and can be out by several metres, and unrecorded workings can exist anywhere in the coalfield.
