T2 - 1 x Ash Leaf Maple Located in the Centre of the Lawn - Reduce the lateral spread of the crown by approximately 2 metres.The tree has outgrown its position. T3 - 1 x Sycamore near the front driveway exit - Remove significant deadwood and reduce the over extended lateral branches by approximately 2 metres to reduce the risk of failure over this area. T4 - 1 x Yew near the front driveway exit - Dismantle the upper crown leaving a pollarded stem to encourage lower level regeneration. This tree is in sever decline. T5 - 1 x Leaning Holm Oak - Lightly reduce and thin the crown by approximately 25%. The tree is growing at an acute angle with big leverage and the work will mitigate the risk of total collapse.

Site constraints 7

1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin
Nearest: The Arches, Grade II, about 5 m from the postcode pin
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.
Historic England ↗
Registered park or garden: Horton Hall Park
Nationally designated heritage. Its significance and setting carry great weight.
Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.
Historic England ↗
Agricultural land, grade 3b
Not 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.
Scheduled monument about 40 m away: Settlement remains of the medieval village of Horton, to the east and south of the church, including possible C18 militia works..
Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.
Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.
Historic England ↗
Habitat network: Network Expansion Zone
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; Nature improvement area: Nene Valley.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt

Checked on 6 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. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency (radon, contains BGS materials © UKRI) and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
