PL/26/06165/TP - Works to trees covered by TPO Approved

Proposal

Reduction to 1 x London Plane (T5) by 1.5 meters off the top and 1.5 meters off the side, with a final height of 21 meters to be achieved, crown lift to provide 5 meters of clearance all around and crown thin by 20% to take out some of the sail from the canopy to prevent failure and to help with airflow, reduce 1 x mature Horse Chestnut (T3) by 6m back down to the existing pollard points (top), and the sides to also be reduced back to the old knuckles (final height of 19m) to ensure the new growth supported by rot pockets won't fail, and also that the large wound that is structurally compromised also won't lead to a failure and push back the lower branches by around 2 meters and to remove the lowest branch back to the stem to 1 x Deodar Cedar (T4) so that the branches are away from the driveway and in line with the start of the lawn Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 7

Green belt: London

Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.

Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm.

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.

Flood map ↗

Taplow Riverside 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 2

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; Inside the Maidenhead built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 2, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Not affected

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.
