Proposal

G1 - Group of 5 x Ash trees situated in rear garden. To repollard to previous pollard points. Height before 8m, height after 6m. All crown will be removed, leaving a totem pole. This client has just had a very dangerous Ash tree removed from his garden and would like to maintain other trees to reduce any future risk. TPO covers half of the clients garden and I think that some of the trees are outside of the TPO, however have included all in the application. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 4

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Yare Broads and Marshes
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.
Also on the record
Tree preservation order 9 m away: The Norfolk (South Norfolk District Council) Long Stratton and Tharston Tree Preservation Order 2011 No 3; Inside the Long Stratton built-up area; the 1970s provisional farmland map 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 listed building at the site
