Planning application
21 Ffinch Close Ditton Aylesford Kent ME20 6ET
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
2 x Chestnut trees - Fell due to close proximity to the house. Also concerns that as the roots are apparently the same size as the height of the tree that they could be causing damage to the foundations of the house. Trees standing in rear garden in W1 of TPO
