Planning application

Fir Meadow Cottage Butchers Hill Shorne Gravesend Kent DA12 3EB

Awaiting decision Gravesham 20260884

Works: Trees Small domestic

Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

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

Proposal

Horse Chestnut (T1) - re pollard at previous prune points, 14m above tree base. This ageing tree has shed large branches and would benefit from considerable canopy weight reduction. Close proximity to public right of way and neighbouring dwelling is a cause for concern, should further failures occur.

As published by the council, reference 20260884

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Gravesham 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 this record

Reading the register

This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Gravesham is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.

Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.
