EHDC-26-0882-TPO - Tree Preservation Order Pending Decision

Proposal

Branch Clearance from House: I have included more photographs with proposed trimming back line marked. Finished Crown Height: I have included more photographs with proposed crown height reduction marked. Overall height reduction is in line with the ongoing management of the potential risk (the tree sway markedly during storms and branches have hit the roof). Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 5

Tree preservation order: (EH84)79
Consent is needed before work on protected trees.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.
Special protection area about 141 m away: Wealden Heaths Phase II
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
SSSI about 141 m away: Bramshott and Ludshott Commons SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.

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