T1 - OAK - Reduce overhanging branches on S/W side ( garden side ) only. This will be achieved by removing approx. 2-3 metres of branch length. Pruning to suitable secondary growth points. Leaving the tree with a final width of approx. 5m. This is to try and rebalance the tree and reduce the risk of heavy limbs failing in the summer months.

Site constraints 7

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
National landscape 119 m away: North Wessex Downs
Outside the landscape; its setting can still be raised.
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.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 3; 1 listed building within 150 m; Inside the Burghclere built-up area; Priority habitat 10 m away: Deciduous woodland; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
