Granted Ashford OTH/2026/0260 Tree Preservation Order - works related

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1 & T2 - Cherry Trees - Very close together and in bad health, the top half of the trees seemingly dead, the rest of the tree crowns are interwoven and have lost vitality. Dismantle and removal of T1 and T2 or pollard to 3m depending on the amount of central decay (this would best be determined on the day of work). T3 Cherry – Dead and limbless, this could be left standing for habitat or removed.
