Granted Ashford NOT//2025/1795 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

T4 - Beech (Fagus sylvatica) - Reduce crown height by 2m - 2.5m and reduce crown lateral spread by 1.5m - 2m. Works intended to rebalance the crown to a more aesthetic shape, encouraging balanced, healthy regrowth.
