16 Westbourne Grove Scarborough North Yorkshire YO11 2DL Data via plota.co.uk

26/05143/TCON - Tree works in Conservation Areas Approved

Proposal

(T1) - Purple plum - crown reduce to 2 feed below previous cuts, to prevent tear outs. (T2) - Horse chestnut - crown reduce to previous cuts, required due to lapsed pollard, which has left tight unions and potential for tear outs. There is also evidence of bleeding within unions. The crown reduction will reduce weight within the branches, minimising tear outs. Data via plota.co.uk

Heritage at risk: Scarborough
On the register of historic places assessed as at risk.
A designated building, monument, park or conservation area assessed as at risk from neglect, decay or development. Proposals that secure its future are looked on favourably.
Historic England ↗
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.
