Currently the tree is 12m high and has a spread of 12m, after the reduction, tree will be approx 10m tall and have a spread of 8m Reason for the work is to stop the tree from out growing its space, reduce spread and overhang over footpath and to reduce weight and windsail amongst the canopy to reduce risk of branches breaking in high wind.

Site constraints 6

Nutrient neutrality catchment: River Wensum SAC
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.
Tree preservation order
Consent is needed before work on protected trees.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.
Also on the record
1 listed building within 150 m; Conservation area 59 m away: Reepham; Inside the Reepham (Broadland) built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) 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 24 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.
