Land East Of The Street Bramerton Norfolk Data via plota.co.uk

2026/1792 - Works to trees in Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

All trees and hedges on the eastern side of The Street, Bramerton to be cut back to completely uncover the footway and achieve a minimum 2.3m clearance above the footway. Also, raise any tree crowns (to an estimated minimum 3.0m clearance) on the driveway leading to the Church of Saint Peter car park as that is where site compound for the works will be located. Any vegetation works will be supervised by a qualified person to identify bird nests as it is nesting season. Refer to drawing number 'PMC020-' for the Hedge and Tree Trimming Extents. This is to facilitate footway maintenance works which due to street works requirements can only be carried out in the Summer Holidays, planned to start on 20th July 2026. Vegetation works need to be carried out prior to 20th July 2026 to ensure the works can go ahead. If vegetation works are not carried out prior to this date, the footway works will be at risk of being postponed until summer 2027. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 5

Grade II listed: Grove Farm Cottages
List entry 1050453 · 2 m away · 2 more listed buildings within 150 m (2 Grade II)
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.

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.
Bramerton 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.

Agricultural land, grade 2
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.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 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.
