TC/25/00118
South Foreland Cottage Foreland Road St Margarets Bay Dover CT15 6EB
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

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Dover for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
