Planning application
Parkwood Free Church Parkwood Green Parkwood Gillingham Medway ME8 9PN
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Carry out a crown reduction of the mature Oak tree (Quercus robur) annotated T1. Reduce height and spread by approximately 2 metres from the branch tips, from 19m - 17m (height) 17m-15m (spread) maintaining the trees natural shape and form In conjunction with the crown reduction, undertake a crown lift over the building to achieve a minimum clearance height of approximately 5 metres above ground level roof level where practicable. Tree has dropped deadwood in the past and is causing locals some concern due to over extended branches over roof, the aim would be to remove these to avoid any future potential of damage from branches contacting the roof.
