Once you’ve completed the form, you’ll need to email it to our Planning team at planning@swale.gov.uk. You’ll need to include:

• the location of the tree
• a description of the work you want to carry out

What happens next

Once we’ve received your complete form, we’ll tell you whether you can work on the tree within eight weeks.
