Height reduced from 16m to 12-12.5 and radial spread from 7-7.5m to 4m. REDUCE the remaining crown of the tree by the selective removal of between 3.5-4 metres from the branch tips depending on the opportunities for cutting back to suitable live growth in each instance.

The process from here
The council has decided this application; the published outcome sits in the record above and the decision notice on the council portal carries the detail, including any conditions.
If permission was granted, work must normally begin within three years of the decision. If it was refused, the applicant can appeal within the statutory time limit or submit a revised scheme.
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.
