Planning application
TPA/26/1128
167 Maidstone Road Chatham Medway ME4 6JG
Proposal
T4 - Oak - reduce height to fork at 2m above primary failure point (approx.14m), reduce radial spread from approximately 10m down to 7m to shape. The tree has suffered failure of a major primary branch, which resulted in the loss of s second lower primary branch, resulting in the loss of approx. 30% of the canopy to the south, leaving a large opening that exposes the canopy structure to a significant increase in failure risk. The work is considered to be required to address current very high risk safety concerns within a residential garden setting.

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.
