    T1 - Beech - We are seeking permission to carry out operations on this Beech tree, positioned in W1 of the original TPO (ref: 267 (2010).W1). Our intention is to push back the overhang of the specimen from the premises of Oak Tree Cottage; reducing back where it has encroached on the aforementioned property. T2 - Beech - We are seeking permission to carry out operations on this Beech tree, positioned in W1 of the original TPO (ref: 267 (2010).W1). Our intention is to push back the overhang of the specimen from the premises of Oak Tree Cottage; reducing back where it has encroached on the aforementioned property. T3 - Leylandii - We are seeking permission to carry out operations on this Leylandii, positioned in W1 of the original TPO (ref: 267 (2010).W1). For the Leylandii in question, we intend to remove this tree to ground level. It is again positioned encroaching on the boundary of Oak Tree Cottage, yet presents as a very poor specimen with low amenity. As its condition is questionable, we believe it would be better to act with the avoidance of doubt and remove the Leylandii before it deteriorates and potentially fails in future adverse conditions.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Oak Tree Cottage is modelled from its 149 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH1 6BR. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for Oak Tree Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Oak Tree Cottage was lodged in May 2016 at band E and expired in May 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Oak Tree Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH1 6BR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
