Planning application
242 Maidstone Road Chatham Medway ME4 6JN
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T20 London Plane. Repollard to uppermost pollard heads at approximately 6.5m above ground level. Pollard heads not to be damaged, but all branches above pollard heads to be removed. T21 Lime. Repollard to uppermost pollard heads at approximately 6.0m above ground level. Pollard heads not to be damaged, but all branches above pollard heads to be removed. T22 Lime. Repollard to uppermost pollard heads at approximately 6.5m above ground level. Pollard heads not to be damaged, but all branches above pollard heads to be removed. Reason for works are to maintain the trees under their established pollarding regime by reducing the current regrowth back to the existing historic pollard knuckles, thereby maintaining their size, form and structural condition.
