Planning application
21/02160/TNCA
1 Court Lodge Goring Place Wrotham Sevenoaks Kent TN15 7BQ
Proposal
T1 Cherry - Reduce by 2-3m on sides and 3-4m on top to leave a tree 10m tall and 4m radial crown spread, currently causing excessive shading to the property T2 Sycamore - Fell self sown Sycamore threatening garden path and competing with neighbouring Elderberry. Not replanting due to space being occupied by the Elderberry. T3 Elderberry - Reduce one-sided crown to rebalance tree and encourage occupation of the space left by the Sycamore, unbalanced by competition with neighbouring Sycamore. T4 Cherry - Reduce crown by approx 1m all around to leave a tree of 6m in height with 1.5m radial crown spread. The tree is unlikely to reach maturity in its location, owing to its proximity to the building, the reduction is performed with a view to maintaining the tree at this size long term

What happens at appeal
The process from here
This application is at appeal, which passes the decision from the council to the national planning inspectorate, or in Scotland usually to a local review body first. The appeal considers the scheme afresh against the same policies.
Anyone who commented on the original application is normally notified and can comment again within the appeal deadline. Appeal decisions take months rather than weeks, and the outcome replaces the council's decision.
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.
