26/01021/TRE - Work to tree within Conservation area Pending Consideration
Trees & landscaping

Proposal

T4 Ash - Prune branches back from the road, reducing by up to 2.5m in length. This is to stop the tree leaning too far and putting dangerous weight over the public highway due to base and lower main stem obscured by Ivy. Heavily suppressed by adjacent tree with vertical sweep into open space over road. Bark patterning indicative of ongoing load adaptation. Future growth with be biased over road. T5 Beech - Remove to ground level due to an active helical crack from the base to a significant cavity at 2.5m, alongside extensive major dieback and brittle deadwood in the upper canopy. T6 Norway spruce - Remove completely to ground level. This is because the tree is dead and is a falling safety hazard to surrounding trees due to dead tree within close proximity to others within derelict plantation. Base and stem obscured by ivy. T7 Beech - Remove to ground level due to extensive major dieback and retained brittle deadwood throughout the upper canopy Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 6

Snailwell 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.
Council document ↗
Agricultural land, grade 3a
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.
10 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Manor Farmhouse, Grade II, 6 m away · 2 Grade II*, 8 Grade II
The site itself is not listed. 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.

National infrastructure project 508 m away: Sunnica Energy Farm
The site is 508 m from the project boundary. Generating station, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
SSSI 284 m away: Snailwell Meadows SSSI.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 13 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate 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.
