Awaiting decision Ashford OTH/2026/1629 Tree Preservation Order - works related

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

T1 - Oak - Crown reduction by 2m to 6m across. Reason - The tree located close to the property and overhangs the garage. This tree has had previous work not long ago and has regrown back close to the house, currently less than 1m away. The tree measures around 11m across and only 5.5m from trunk to house. T2 - Oak - Crown reduction by 2.5m to 8m across. Reason - The lateral branches are currently unbalanced towards towers being around 5.5m over the lawn area, 4.5m, and toward the house 6.5m.
