Planning application
Welldon House 49 London Road Tonbridge Kent TN10 3AD
Works: Trees
Withdrawn before a decision, so it carries no planning weight. A revised scheme can be submitted at any time.
Proposal
G1 (Applicants ref) 8x Yew trees- Fell to ground level. Hedgerow is causing excessive shading to the outbuilding. Ongoing management is impractical due to size, density and proximity to structures, with limited scope for effective reduction. Replant with a native broadleaf hedgerow to provide screening, improve biodiversity, and allow for sustainable long-term management.
