Remove dying tree stem at Albion Place Gardens, Ramsgate

“LOCATION: 1No Cornelian Cherry (T291) - Remove dying stem, leaving 30cm stub.”

“The trees are situated within the Ramsgate Conservation Area, situated on the edge of Albion Place Gardens, and visible in the park and from Albion Place. The tree is a mature Cherry. In the context of the surrounding trees this one tree would be considered of low amenity value.”

“Thanet District Council (TDC) records indicate no prior works have been carried out on these trees.”

“The proposed works include: 1No Cornelian Cherry (T291) - Remove dying stem, leaving a 30cm stub. These works appear to be reasonable management practices aimed at ensuring the health and safety of both the trees and the surrounding environment, while maintaining access and safety for pedestrians and vehicles.”

“The proposed works consist of the removal of one dead limb, which is deemed essential for the effective management of the trees, and do not significantly harm the amenity value of the site. As such there is considered to be no need to impose a Tree Preservation Order (TPO).”

“A site notice was posted near the site, and no letters of objection or concern have been received regarding the proposed works.”

“No consultations have been undertaken for this notice.”

“Considering the public location of the tree, its proximity to the highway and pavements, and the nature of the proposed works, it is not considered appropriate to impose a TPO. The works are reasonable and well justified to ensure health and safety while maintaining the amenity of the area. It is therefore recommended that Members raise no objection to the proposed works.”

“Councillor Rusiecki proposed and Councillor Matterface seconded the officer recommendation to RAISE NO OBJECTION the application.”

“When put to the vote the motion was AGREED.”
