26/01319/TREE - Works to Protected Tree In progress

Proposal

T1 Sycamore - reduce 1.5m laterally away from driveway and house, prune to clear overhead cable by 1m. Reason: to clear building and phone line, and to reduce bird droppings and detritus on driveway and parked cars. The majority of this work will not be visible from the road so there will be no loss of amenity value. Total photosynthetic volume reduction will be less than 10% so there will be minimal impact on the tree. T2 Sycamore - reduce 2m laterally away from driveway and patio. Reason: to reduce bird droppings and detritus on driveway and parked cars. The result of this work will not be visible from the road so there will be no loss of amenity value. Total photosynthetic volume reduction will be less than 10% so there will be minimal impact on the tree. Data via plota.co.uk

Woodhurst 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.
Agricultural land, grade 2
Best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Predicted from the national soil map. The older provisional map 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.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 September 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.
