Planning application

36B Southfields Road West Kingsdown Kent TN15 6LE

Awaiting decision Sevenoaks 25/02451/WTPO Works to Trees covered by a TPO

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

T2 (Quercus Robur) a selective reduction of overhanging branches and a light thinning to allow the adjacent tree better light access. Cuts could be made at suitable secondary growth points in order to reduce dominance over the neighbouring tree and allow both trees to maintain a balanced crown development. The tree current height is approx twelve meters, we would like to reduce it to ten. The current crown spread is approx eight meters, we would reduce to six.
