  1. Decision MadeOTH/2022/2612

    We intend to remove 2 x Holly trees from the garden of 28-30 Scotton Street, Wye. We understand that both trees are diseased and that permission had previously been granted in 2018 to the previous owner, under application reference 18/00106/TC. We wish to remove these trees as they continuously drop their leaves and the proximity of T2, as see on the plan, is of concern to the rear of the property. The site plan is annotated as follows: T1 - Holly tree - removal , T2 - Holly tree - removal - We will be using a tree surgeon to remove both trees.

    T1: Silver Birch tree. To reduce the top of the tree by 4m. Reason: Health & safety. In the last gales the occupant in No.6 reported that the tree was bending dangerously over the roof of her bungalow. She is very fearful of the tree falling onto her house. Note: as the points to which the cut points are fairly small, I feel they should cause little die-back.

What these statistics cover

These figures describe applications collected by PlanningTrack for Ashford Borough Council, across all dates currently available. They are a partial dataset, rather than an authority-wide performance measure. The date range does not establish continuous historical coverage.

The approval percentage is approved records divided by approved plus refused records. Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded. No percentage is shown until there is an approved or refused record.
