Planning application

Henden Lodge, 15a The Green, Woodchurch, Ashford, Kent, TN26 3PF

Granted Ashford 20/00254/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: Proposal: 1. Reduce low laterals up to 8m height over boundary of property by 2-3m to good growth points leaving a natural looking crown profile. 2. Crown lift to 5m limbs of less than 150mm diameter. 3. Prune away from cable limbs of less than 100mm diameter to give 1m clearance. 4. Crown lift over road to 5.5m. (Superseded spec - T1 Oak, carry out overall crown reduction by a maximum of 3mts to improve appearance of the tree. Reduce height spread so the tree is liable to cause less destruction should it fall to strong winds.)
