26/00091/TREECA - Works to/Fell Tree in Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

The removal of 3 lime trees at the end of the small garden and roots ground, as they're too big and roots are too big in a small garden which I planted 20 years ago, concerned they're potentially going to the house, which tbc may potentially in the future have an extension to the back summer room. The garden will be redesigned with flowering borders and a smaller tree tbc. The garden backs onto a private lane which is road for the owners at the end of the drive which the public are unable to walk down or see the trees. The homes either side of the property are not local, the LHS 2nd home and RHS holiday let. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 9

Norfolk Coast National Landscape
Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.
BURNHAM MARKET Conservation Area 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.
Council document ↗
Habitat network: Network Expansion Zone
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

Checked on 2 November 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.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
