26/00844/TWCA - Tree Work In Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

Group 1 - 9 x Leylandii & 1 Lombardy Poplar - fell, chemical stump treatment (poplar), stump grinding. the trees within G001 are part of an overgrown boundary hedge, the hedge was planted in 2012 and has remained unmaintained since, a reduction has been considered but leylandii hedges do not regenerate from cut wood, the reduced hedge would look unsightly and wouldn't provide adequate low level screening. on completion of the felling the hedge will be replaced with a multi species native hedgerow.

Site constraints 10

Flood zone 2, rivers and sea
Medium chance: between a 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 to 1 in 1,000 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.

Newark 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 ↗
Heritage at risk: Newark
On the register of historic places assessed as at risk.
A designated building, monument, park or conservation area assessed as at risk from neglect, decay or development. Proposals that secure its future are looked on favourably.
Historic England ↗
Local nature reserve about 57 m away: Devon Park Pastures
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Scheduled monument about 66 m away: Queen's Sconce
Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.
Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.
Historic England ↗
National infrastructure project about 496 m away: A46 Newark Bypass
The site is about 496 m from the project boundary. Highway, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: H2East Pipeline: Humber to Nottinghamshire (at pre-application, about 1155 m).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

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
1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin; Inside the Newark-on-Trent built-up area; Priority habitat about 14 m away: No main habitat but additional habitats present.
Not affected
Not green belt

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, the Planning Inspectorate 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.
