Proposal
T4 - Goat willow (Salix caprea) - Remove the single stem that leans against the top of the boundary wall. Stem approx. 450mm diameter, extending approx. 4m over the car park. Cut at the boundary line / its base to BS 3998:2010. The rest of the tree will be retained. No felling or root works. Reason: The stem rests on the boundary wall, which is within the curtilage of a Grade II* listed building, adding weight and pressure to the brickwork. It also overhangs the car park, where sap drips onto parked cars and the car park surface and attracts wasps, causing a nuisance and safety risk to car park users. Goat willow responds well to cutting, so removing one stem will not harm the tree's long-term health or its screening value Data via plota.co.uk

Under consideration

Checked on 15 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.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
