Proposal

A reseeded conifer needs to be completely removed as it has become too large for the garden and is too close to sheds and an LPG tank. In strong winds it could pose a threat to the structures in the garden as well as the access road to which it is adjacent. There is no TPOIt is the conifer in Pic OWC 002 and is the only tree indicated on the sketch OWC 001. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 4

Sulgrave 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 ↗
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Inside the Sulgrave built-up area; the 1970s provisional farmland map had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
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.
