PL/26/07667/TP - Works to trees covered by TPO Registered

Proposal

T1 Douglas fir - Reduce lateral branch growth on the property-facing side by up to approximately 2 metres, pruning back to suitable growth points and retaining a natural crown profile. Reduce branches overhanging the dwelling and those currently making contact with, or falling onto, the tiled roof to provide approximately 2 metres clearance from the building. Remove dead, damaged or defective branches where present. Overall height to be retained. T2 Oak - Reduce the disproportionately extended lateral branches on the applicant's property-facing side of the crown by up to approximately 2 metres, pruning back to suitable growth points. The purpose is to reduce the significant overhang into the applicant's garden and produce a more balanced crown. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 8

2 Article 4 directions
Beaconsfield, Transferred from Chiltern District Council · Land at Beaconsfield - Eggs and Poultry. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Protected tree 10 m away: South Bucks District Council Tree Preservation Order no. 12; 2002 dated 19/7/2002. Confirmed 2/10/20, order TPO/SBDC/2002/12
3 protected trees within 15 m. Named in a tree preservation order: work to it, its roots included, needs the council's consent first.
Root protection areas reach up to 15 m from a large tree, so an extension or new foundations this close usually needs a tree survey. Only some councils publish their single trees, and a position can be approximate: the order at the council is the definitive record, and no tree shown is not proof there is none.

National landscape 47 m away: Chilterns
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; Inside the Beaconsfield built-up area; Green belt 48 m away: London; Priority habitat 46 m away: Deciduous woodland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site
