This would reduce the leverage on the forks' x6 'and possible crack over the road and power line','but still keep the tree tall enough for it to retain its commanding position over the village'. The tree to be pruned to 'keep a flowing line', Please see a copy of the annotated photograph included with the application. b.'Laterals to the west at 2m overhang neighbouring property, and hang down within 3m of the ground.'

Now causing an issue for larger vehicles' 'Take small diameter laterals, <5cm back to branch collar'.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for The Chestnuts is modelled from its 141 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PE12 0BU. 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 The Chestnuts. 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 The Chestnuts was lodged in March 2010 at band D and expired in March 2020, 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. 2 applications are matched to The Chestnuts. 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 29 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PE12 0BU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Chestnuts is in council tax band D. 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.
