T/26/101954 - Consent under Tree Preservation Orders Valid

Proposal

1no. Chestnut (T1) - Reduction of the overhanging branches to reduce the extent of the canopy over the adjacent house (no. 68 Ashdown Road) and shed roofs by approx 2-3m together with the removal of one specific branch which are contributing to the accumulation of leaves, twigs and other natural debris on the roofs and in the associated gutters. The proposed works are intended to reduce the volume of debris falling onto the roofs, minimise the risk of blocked gutters and potential damage to the roofs, and improve the clearance between the tree canopy and the building. The works will be limited to the minimum extent reasonably necessary and will be retained in its entirety. Aim of maintaining the tree's health, natural appearance and contribution to the local landscape. Data via plota.co.uk

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.
