SDNP/26/00205/TCA - Tree in a Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

None of these trees is protected by a TPO. We have spoken to a local tree surgeon who has recently done some other work at the property. Tree 1. This is large conifer, which is growing out of the drive adjacent to the wall. It is damaging both the drive and the wall and also prevents large delivery vehicles from entering the rest of the drive beyond Corhampton Court. (The rest of the drive gives access to the Old Stables, The Mews, Holly Lodge, The Flat and Corhampton House). We propose to remove it completely including grinding down the stump and repairing the drive. Trees 2, 3 and 5 are also large conifers between the our front lawn and the wall which are damaging the wall. We propose to remove these 3 trees also. Tree 4. Is a large self-sown sycamore tree growing out of our lawn. We propose to remove this completely. Tree 6. Is an old ornamental cherry tree, of which several boughs and the trunk are diseased and endangering the passing traffic on the B3035 and also risk bringing down the telephone cables which run between the higher branches. We propose to remove this completely. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 8

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Solent: Includes Chichester and Langstone Harbours SPA/Ramsar, Solent and Southampton Water SPA/Ramsar, Solent Maritime SAC, Portsmouth Harbour SPA/Ramsar
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.
South Downs National Park
The park authority decides applications here. Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Landscape, scenic beauty and wildlife carry great weight, and major development is only allowed in exceptional circumstances.
Corhampton and Meonstoke 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.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; Inside the Meonstoke and Corhampton built-up area; Priority habitat 26 m away: Traditional orchard; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) 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 listed building at the site
