26/00976/PWC - Works to trees in Conservation Areas Approved

Proposal

T1: Oak Tree (shown as T on plan):- Reduce back the overhanging branches from No.18 Milldale Close by approximately 2m. Reduce the height of the tree by no more than 2m on the side facing No.18 Milldale by selectively removing the longer outgrowing branches to leave suitable replacements with a natural, tapered flowing branch line. This will allow a slight improvement in light to the garden and house at No.18 Milldale without impacting on the trees health or aesthetic value as seen from Holgate. Balance the canopy by selectively removing outgrowing limbs on No.8 Holgate side if required. Data via plota.co.uk

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.
