About this record
Reading the register
This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Medway 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.

T144 - Lime - Remove low dead branch over path. Excessively long dead low branch over path at 7 meters. T143 - Walnut - Fell to ground level Poor vigor and little sign of retrenchment or potential retrenchment suggests sufficient crown reduction to mitigate. Extensive Armillaria mellea fruiting bodies and decay at base would send tree into further decline. T140 - Horse Chestnut - Pollard at previous point at 9m (remove all branches below this point) Tree not in leaf at time of survey but dieback and poor bud density in upper crown in line with decay at base suggests poor compartmentalization of decay. Probably pollarded in distant past at 3 meters then semi pollarded more recently at 8 meters. Tree over footpath and increased target range picnic benches. Although there is reduced vigor with decay reasonable bud density elsewhere suggests tree may recover from re-pollarding at 9 meter to reduce risk of whole tree failure.
