Planning application

Land south west of St Marys Church, Eastwell Lane, Westwell, Kent

Granted Ashford 20/00202/TC Notification of proposed works to trees in a conservation area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Description: Sycamore - the presence of the basal decay and Cinder Fungus have a significant affect on the tree's structural integrity. To mitigate this reduce the crown spread by 2m, leaving a radial spread of not less than 5m to the east, west and south, leaving as much leaf bearing material as possible.
