About this record
Reading the register
This page mirrors an entry on the statutory planning register that Swale is required to keep. The published feed for this record does not state which type of application it is, which is common for older entries and for some council systems; the register entry on the council portal will say, alongside the case officer and any consultation dates.
Every planning application follows the same broad path: submission, validation, publicity, then a decision by officers or committee. Our guide to planning application types explains the common types and what each can approve.

Decision due ~4 Aug
Tree Preservation Order application (TPO 1 of 1969) - 1 x Chestnut - reduce height by approx 3m from 12m and reduce lateral spread from 3m to match top and suitable growth points. It has been cut previously so maybe back to that lop and top point. Lower crown height would be lifted to 2m clearance where suitable growth points exist to presume tree health.
