Proposal

T1 - Sycamore - Mature Sycamore tree growing within the old hedge/new fence line with a canopy biased towards towards the north and east - The tree has a very unsymmetric canopy with a large lateral branch emitting from the main stem at 2 metres (northern and western aspect) Proposed works - Reshape the canopy with the reduction of certain proportions of the tree to reduce the likelihood of branch failure with the weighted canopy. Reduce the norther aspect of the crown from 9 metres by 3 metres leaving a spread of 6 metres Reduce the western aspect from 10 metres by 4 meters leaving a spread of 6 metres Reduce the southern aspect from 6 metres by 1 metre leaving a spread of 5 metres Reduce the eastern aspect from 5.5 metres by 0.5 metres leaving a spread of 5 metres Reduce the height of the canopy from 22 metres by 4 metres to 18 metres and to be reshaped into the remainder of the canopy (suspected squirrel damage in top proportion of the canopy), remove any significant dead wood.

Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 4; 4 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin; National infrastructure project about 954 m away: The Grand Union Canal Transfer, at pre-application; Inside the Welton (West Northamptonshire) 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 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 13 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
