PL/26/05872/TP - Works to trees covered by TPO Decided

Proposal

T1 Sycamore - Fell as tree in decline. T2 Lime Fell as tree in decline and mostly dead. G5 Cedars x3 Prune closest tree to the property back from the property and parking by 1.5m, The trees have lost multiple limbs and are likely to continue. We wish to mitigate the risk by reducing the end weight on the extended sections to lessen the risk. T13 Cedar Reduce height (pruning) by 2m. Tree has been previously reduced an or/the top has previously failed. This specification is to re reduce and remove some weight from the regrowth, to lessen the chance of failure. G7 Cedars x5 Lightly prune back the 3x trees closest to the property by 1.5m to maintain a reasonable distance from the properties. T1774 Cedar Remove primary low limb growing over the property to source, Reduce the remaining crown on the property side by approximately 1.5-2m. This tree has lost multiple limbs into the property garden and is likely to continue. We wish to mitigate the risk by removing the largest and most exposed limbs and also reducing the end weight on the remaining extended section to lessen the risk Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 7

Green belt: London
Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.
Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm. Some green belt land can count as grey belt, where it does not strongly serve the green belt's purposes. The council decides this in its green belt assessment or on each application, so we do not mark it here.
Read the government guidance ↗
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. A site survey can differ.
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.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Registered park or garden 61 m away: Cliveden
Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.
Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.
Historic England ↗
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; 1 listed building within 150 m; Priority habitat 44 m away: Deciduous woodland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency (radon, contains BGS materials © UKRI) 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.
