Site constraints 2

Protected tree 7 m away: 12 Witchford Road Ely Cambridgeshire CB6 3DP, order TPO/E/14/91
2 protected trees within 15 m. Named in a tree preservation order: work to it, its roots included, needs the council's consent first.
Root protection areas reach up to 15 m from a large tree, so an extension or new foundations this close usually needs a tree survey. Only some councils publish their single trees, and a position can be approximate: the order at the council is the definitive record, and no tree shown is not proof there is none.
