Proposal

T1 Magnolia (Magnolia spp.) - Crown reduction in height by approximately 2 to 2.5 metres, with corresponding lateral branch reductions to reshape and balance the canopy. All pruning cuts to be made cleanly back to suitable flowing growth points or parent branches, preserving the natural form and structural integrity of the specimen. Reason for Works: To manage the overall scale of the tree while restoring uniform balance and aesthetics. G2 - Mixed Species Group (Lilac, Holly, Hawthorn) - Linear reduction of mixed understory vegetation and hedging to align uniformly with the existing hedge line. Canopy tops to be levelled to a crisp datum line, with the outer faces lightly trimmed back. (Approx 4 small stems that have been missed over the years during hedge cutting). Reason for Works: To establish a clean, manageable boundary while strictly prioritising the retention of dense foliage for privacy and security Data via plota.co.uk

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 ↗
Public footpath about 14 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Scheduled monument about 70 m away: Burwell Castle
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.

Checked on 11 September 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.
