    Felling Licence 019/3444/2022. This application is in support of SPHN 22/02025/01. The Norway spruce will be felled under this order.

This is particularly the case in cmpt 1a where a greater percentage of MB exists around the patches of Norway Spruce. Rides will be opened up to afford access for forestry machinery and the opportunity will also be taken to remove unstable trees left by the spruce removal and any un-firm edge trees in cmpt 1b. In all instances, operators will select trees in line with good silviculture.

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 Pending, withdrawn and unknown outcomes are excluded.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.
