Planning application
21/01573/TPOC
19 Carroll Gardens Larkfield Aylesford Kent ME20 6NQ
Proposal
Sycamores T1 and T3, reduce both crowns by 25% on T1 and T3 and to lift the crowns on both to a height of 9m above the ground level. This is to reduce the amount of falling branches and leaves that keep falling into the garden, so the children cannot make use of the rear of the garden until this has been carried out. This will also increase the amount of natural light received into the garden by removing the current excessive shading, caused by the leafy branches. Any limbs with a diameter greater than 120mm will remain intact, to enable future regrowth. T2 has previously been felled.

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
