Tree WorksOct 2025The oak tree as outlined within the sketch plan requires pruning due to it's excessive size now encroaching upon neighbors houses, garages and surrounding shrubs. As a result there is a risk that the tree could cause damage to neighboring buildings in storm conditions due to it's 'leggy' size. The oak tree is positioned within the boundaries of 30 St Swithuns road, approximately 3ft from the public path adjacent to St. Swithuns Road. Considering it's extensive size/length of branches it is recommended that crown reduction work shall need to be carried out in order to retain a balanced shape. Only the Oak tree as highlighted within the sketch plan requires worked to be carried out. The site is located within a conservation area and no specific TPO number has been identified for the Oak tree. A recommendation for submission and works to be carried out within January in order to protect the tree and avoid any potential risks of diseases when pruning within the warmer summer months.Decision

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 30 St Swithuns Road is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GL2 5LH. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 30 St Swithuns Road. 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 30 St Swithuns Road was lodged in April 2024 at band D and is valid until April 2034. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records: Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 30 St Swithuns Road. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL2 5LH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band: 30 St Swithuns Road is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
