26/1503/TPO - Works to Protected Trees (TPO) Pending Consideration

Proposal

T002 - Oak Suggested Works: Dismantle in stages to near ground level G003 - Ash Suggested Works: Dismantle in stages 2x trees to near ground level The Oak has reduced vitality and is suppressed by the neighbouring trees, not worthy of retention. The two Ash trees have been subjected to significant pruning on the field side due to a new infrastructure installation. The trees are now side weighted over the highway and also exhibit signs of decline, potentially due to Ash Dieback Disease. Due to the natural regeneration expected here we don't consider a replanting condition appropriate in this instance. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 3

Agricultural land, grade 3a

Best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Source: the Predictive Agricultural Land Classification Map (Defra and Natural England, 2025; the Welsh Government's Predictive ALC Map 2 in Wales), a model rather than a site survey. Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) agrees.

Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.

Habitat network: Network Expansion Zone

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
