Description

Common Yew tree, crown reduction or removal of the tree if it cannot be sufficiently reduced. Tree is approximately 6m wide and 10m tall. We want to reduce by 50% making it 3m wide and 5m tall. The tree is overhanging neighboring property and bloocking light to their windows. Neighbout has asked if we can cut it back so it does not overhang their property and thin it so it does not block light to their windows. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 4

Dethick, Lea and Holloway 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
Inside the Holloway (Amber Valley) built-up area; the 1970s provisional farmland map had this area as grade 4, 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 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.
