26/02067/TPW - Tree Works Under TPO Awaiting decision

Proposal

T1 - Front Garden Main Lawn Tree of Heaven: 3m from drive / 14m from front of the house. Due to the size and condition of the main stems and cavities visible I would recommend a light crown reduction of approx. 2m to help reduce the weight and stress. To also reduce the crown expanse to form a compact crown. The finished height will be 14m in height and spread. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 4

North Wessex Downs National Landscape
Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
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.
Tree preservation order: 201/21/0013 - A1
Consent is needed before work on protected trees.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.
Also on the record
Inside the Pangbourne built-up area; 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 listed building 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.
