Proposal

Consent was granted under application reference ; however, the approved tree works were not undertaken. Ash T1 fell to near-ground level. The slender tree shows symptoms consistent with Ash Dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus), including crown thinning, deadwood, and progressive structural decline. Sycamore T2 Fell. A Tree Preservation Order was made in 1984. The current dimensions suggest the tree became established after that date, so the proposed felling can be considered. Mixed species G1 Fell. A Tree Preservation Order was made in 1984. The current dimensions suggest the trees became established after that date, so the proposed felling can be considered. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 5

Habitat network: Other Priority Habitats - NEZ
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Radon affected area, class 5
An estimated 10 to 30% of homes reach the radon action level. Indicative for the 1 km square, which takes the highest class found in it; a radon test gives the answer for a building.
From the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency indicative atlas. Under building regulations, as the BRE guide BR 211 (2023) sets out, new buildings and extensions need basic radon protection from class 3 in England and Wales and from class 2 in Scotland, and full protection from class 5. The class at the site itself, from the detailed BGS map, decides which.
