    Outcome in report

    1. Horse Chestnut (T232) - reduce crown height and spread by 1.2 - 1.5m to maintain a balanced shape. To maintain the health of the tree - crown clean to remove weak and dead branches; crown thin by 5-10% to improve light and air penetration through the canopy. As this tree is also seriously infested by Leaf Miner and we will follow the recommended health care programme and carry out a 2-stage foliar spray in Spring 2017.2. Lime (part of G90) - reduce crown height and spread by 1.2 - 1.5m to maintain a balanced shape. To maintain the health of the tree - crown clean to remove weak and dead branches; crown thin by 5-10% to improve light and air penetration through the canopy.3. Corsican Pine (part of G90) - having given careful consideration to the advice given we are applying to cut down and remove this tree. This is a very substantial tree approx. 28m high. It is only 5.3m from our garage, 15.5m from our house and 5m from Purdis Farm Lane - to the rear of the property (see sketch Ref2). Although there is no specific evidence that the tree is in a poor condition, we feel it poses a significant risk to ourselves, our property and users of Purdis Farm Lane. In addition, when talking to the arboriculturist he pointed out that the recent removal of other similar, large trees in this group has increased the exposure of the tree to the prevailing wind, from which it was previously protected, and that as the roots have developed with the others in this group, the root system will have been adversely affected, thus increasing the risk of falling in very windy conditions.As it is inappropriate to reduce the height of a Corsican Pine we are seeking approval to remove this tree.

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 5 Beechwood Drive is modelled from its 261 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in IP3 8UW. 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 5 Beechwood Drive. 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 5 Beechwood Drive was lodged in July 2014 at band B and expired in July 2024, 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. 4 applications are matched to 5 Beechwood Drive. 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from IP3 8UW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
