Planning application

South Foreland Cottage Foreland Road St Margarets Bay Dover CT15 6EB

Awaiting decision Dover TC/25/00118 Works to Trees in a Conservation Area

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

Felling of 4 Yucca palms situated within a conservation area followed by the planting of a Pyrus Salicifolia. We would try and dig up these Yucca rather than cutting them down as it may be possible to give them to someone else who likes them but, so far, no one seems interested.

As published by the council, reference TC/25/00118
