Planning application

Fullers Way, Biddenden

Granted Ashford OTH/2025/2342 Tree Preservation Order - works related

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T12 - Field Maple - Fell - due to being almost completely dead. To be replaced with new field maple. T4 - Oak - Carefully reduce declining branches back to suitable live growth. This should be approached as dead wooding rather than a simple crown reduction, with the removal of as little foliage as possible. The overall reduction in canopy size will be in the region of 3-4m all round. The objective is to reduce the risk of falling branches whilst minimising stress to tree.
