RU.26/0876 Decided

Proposal

T1 Mature, declining oak tree in front of property - Fell to ground level / Section dismantle Justification: The tree is showing significant decline in crown and has recently suffered the loss of a substantial limb, resulting in a large wound unbalanced crown with a potential entry point for decay organisms and airborne pathogens. Due to its declining condition and limited prospects for retention, removal is considered the most appropriate arboricultural option. Replacement planting will be recommended. T2 Elder tree in front of property - Fell to ground level / Section dismantle Justification: Elder tree is growing too close to property and is heavily encroaching building. Low amenity tree with poor form T3 - Oak (front of property, shared with neighbouring property) Reduce the crown by approximately 1.5- 2 metres, back to suitable growth points, maintaining the tree's natural shape and form. Crown thin by approximately 15%, consisting of the selective removal of secondary and tertiary growth only to improve light penetration and reduce sail effect, whilst retaining a balanced crown structure. Remove major deadwood and any crossing or rubbing branches. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 6

Public footpath about 23 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
SSSI about 28 m away: Odiham Common with Bagwell Green and Shaw SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Conservation area about 12 m away: Basingstoke Canal
The edge of the area; work outside it can still affect its setting.
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.

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. 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.
