26/00109/TREECA - Works to/Fell Tree in Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

Oak Tree and the required work: Remove deadwood greater than 25mm. Reason: 20% of upper canopy showing branch and tip dieback. We are obviously keen to get the necessary works carried out as soon as possible, not only to ensure that the advised remedial measures are undertaken to protect the tree itself, but also as a vital health and safety measure to protect users of the Village Hall and their property in that area.

Checked on 6 October 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.
