Planning application
Woodland R/O 43 Orbit Close Boxley Kent ME5 9NF
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
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.
