Tree WorksJan 2026Very large English Oak tree situated approx. 10m from the rear of the property. Crown height 16-18m, Crown spread 14-16m. This tree has a very large expensive canopy covering the majority of the rear garden. I would suggest due to the size and location an overall crown reduction of approx. 2m to form a more compact crown to allow more light to penetrate. At the same time crown thin to remove rubbing and crossing branches no larger than 50mm diameter to allow more light to penetrate the crown and garden. To remove all dead and dying wood and stumps. Finally to crown lift all round to 5m.Decision

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 8 Auclum Close is modelled from its 148 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG7 3DY. 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 8 Auclum Close. 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 8 Auclum Close was lodged in July 2022 at band C and is valid until July 2032. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records: Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to 8 Auclum Close. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG7 3DY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band: 8 Auclum Close is in council tax band E. 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.
