Tree WorksJun 20251. The Copse has a, predominantly, confer hedge along the driveway on the east side of the property. A section of around 12 metres has been allowed to grow out of hand. The majority of the boundary hedge has been well maintained at a height of approximately 3 metres. We have consulted a number of local tree surgeons and they all recommend reducing the height of the confers to the existing height on the remaining boundary hedge. We considered pruning back the confers but have been advised, by the tree surgeons, that this is not an option due to the way the confers have grown, we would merely expose brown wood which would not recover. We do not intend to take any action in relation to the healthy yew tree, holly bushes and remaining confers along this boundary. 2. There is also an Ash tree growing close to the driveway which has some old natural damage to one side near the base, the tree surgeons have also advised that we remove a single branch which will reduce the weight of the tree. 3. Mr Pollard visited the site in 2024 and we discussed the dead confer tree on the front lawned area; we intend to remove this tree and were advised that there would be no issue with this.

Valuation method in detail

How the estimate is made: The estimate for The Copse is modelled from its 78 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in SK6 8BN. 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. 2 sales are recorded for The Copse. 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 Copse was lodged in September 2020 at band C and is valid until September 2030. 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 Copse. 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 9 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from SK6 8BN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band: The Copse is in council tax band C. 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.
