Planning application
Manor Farm 108 Old Road Wateringbury Maidstone Kent ME18 5PP
Works: Trees
At appeal, which passes the decision to the national inspectorate. Anyone who commented before is normally able to comment again.
Proposal
11 Leylandi very over-grown and potentially damaging. 2 Fir trees over-crowded and large. 1 Laurel tree too close to pond wall and another tree. 1 Holly bush that has slowly grown ever bigger and now blocking all about it. Would like to replace with 1 or 2 Weeping Limes on the garden boundary with a Beech or Hornbeam hedge where the Leylandi are currently and a number of evenly spaced fruit trees of varying sizes in place of those cut down (but better positioned)
