Sandyhurst House, Sandyhurst Lane, Kennington, Ashford, Kent, TN25 4NX

Description: Proposal: Reduce willow by 3-5m as shown in application photographs - Upper crown to blue line, side crown to red line. (Supeseded spec: T1 Willow - Reduce crown height by 10m to reduce height leaving weeping canopy) Officer assessment: The tree lies at the boundary of the dwelling and along with the other boundary trees forms an important amenity function. The revised specification will form high pollard points that may be used for future works, this is a normal management technique that is used to prolong the life of weeping willows as heavy limbs are apt to fail at unions in strong wind events. The tree will quickly regain its full amenity value after a season or two. No representations have been received. Officer decision: Grant consent.
