26/00635/TPO - Works to Trees Subject to TPO Decided

Proposal

T1/T2 Douglas Fir: These trees have previously been lopped at about 8m. The subsequent regrowth has produced a ragged and distorted crown. Both trees are suppressed by the non-lopped trees in the garden of No. 1. These will always be deformed specimens. The preferred option is to fell them and plant replacements in the woodland belt beside Judge's Walk. Failing that a crown reduction from 13m to 9m in height and a reduction from 5m to 3m in radial spread. G3 Silver birch: This group of three young silver birch has also previously been lopped, this time at around 6m. The regrowth has been drawn up to produce very long and slender branches without a discernible leading stem or any natural form. It is proposed to reduce the crown on each tree, singling each tree to a single leading shoot and reducing in height from 12m to 8.5m and reducing radial spread from 4m to 3m. T4 Scots pine: This semi-mature pine has a leaning stem and suppresses a promising young beech tree. It is proposed to remove the pine and encourage the beech to develop fully through formative pruning. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 3

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Yare Broads and Marshes
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Unthank and Christchurch 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.
Also on the record
Inside the Norwich built-up area.
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.
