T1, T2, T3 - Silver Birch Trees - Fell make it very awkward to get out of vehicle and trailers on to and off our driveway without causing significant inconvenience to other road users. T4, T5 - Ash trees - Fell - they are showing significant signs of Ash Die Back. They are growing through overhead cables. Should these trees come down in the wind due to their condition they would cause significant disruption to neighbouring properties utility supplies. Also very close to the carriageway and therefore they would put members of the public at danger if they came down. We propose to replant 3 English Oak and 2 Ash Trees within our 2.5 acre garden.

35 Silver Hill Road, Willesborough, Ashford, TN24 0NZ

Certificate of lawful development - Proposed works to a Listed Building - Relocation and enlargement of a loft hatch from the cupboard in the primary bedroom to either the landing ceiling at the top of the stairs or the spare bedroom. Work is needed in the loft in the form of removing a secondary layer of felt that is preventing good ventilation of the structural timbers. In addition to this, the firestop partition wall needs plasterboarding to meet the required level of fire separation between us and the adjacent property. At present, this work is unable to be carried out due to the size and location of the current hatch, works will include cutting through the plywood ceiling in our desired location and fit the steel frame of the loft hatch directly into the adjacent joists. If needed we will use 6"x2" timber to reinforce the joists and add extra support.
