Planning application

2 Lancaster Court Rainham Gillingham Medway ME8 0JP

Status unknown Medway TPA/26/1638 TPO Prune and/or Fell Trees

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T1 - mature Oak tree in the front garden - Remove the deadwood from the canopy and perform an inspection of the cavity at crown break (8 metres from ground level). Lift the lower canopy to give a minimum of 3 metres clearance from the house and surrounding buildings. To limit damage to the roof and allow in more light. T2 - mature Beech tree in the front garden - has several overly extended lateral branches that should be reduced to manage weight distribution. Reduce height from 20 metres to 17.5 metres. Reduce Northern radial spread from 12 metres to 9.5 metres. Reduce Eastern radial spread from 13.5 metres to 11 metres. Reduce Southern radial spread from 7 metres to 6 metres. Reduce Western radial spread from 12 metres to 9.5 metres. Lift from 2.5 metres to 3.5 metres from ground level.

    T1. Oak - Reduce height and radial spread by 2m. Current height 16m leaving at 14m. Current radius 9m leaving at 7m. The tree recent hard a large limb failure which subsequently hit and ripped out a further two large limbs which fell into the garage and on top of the adjacent garage. The loss of these branches has left a large hole in the canopy. It looks as though the tree has recently been crown thinned.
