25/00770/TCA - Works to Trees in a Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

Mature Goat Willow in the back garden. This old tree has multiple extended limbs some with pockets of decay. The dimensions are Height 15m and crown radius North 8m, south 6m, west 9m & east 7m. Recommendations Limb to the south has decay cavity with brown dusty brown rot and advantageous roots. There is a split branch at around 5 m from ground level on this limb - tip- reduce the extended limb by approximately 3 m to alternative growth points and remove the split branch. Extended branch to the west - tip-reduce by approximately 3 m to alternative upright growth Extended branch to the north - tip-reduce by approximately 2 m to alternative upright growth. Extended branch to the east tip-reduce by approximately 2m to alternative upright growth. Upper crown - 'Drop crotch' branch tips to alternative branches by around 1.5m This work will reduce the overall self-weight and wind loading on the tree structure. The likelihood is that the tree will respond by producing small epicomic shoots from the main limbs to rejuvenate growth and reduce the risk of limb failure. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 3

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Yare Broads and Marshes
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Newmarket Road conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Also on the record

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site

Checked on 1 November 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England 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.
