Planning application

1 Court Lodge Goring Place Wrotham Sevenoaks Kent TN15 7BQ

Granted Tonbridge and Malling 21/02160/TNCA Tree Notification Conservation Area

Works: Trees

At appeal, which passes the decision to the national inspectorate. Anyone who commented before is normally able to comment again.

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
