Planning application
Preston Farms Farleigh Road Preston Candover Hampshire RG25 2DS
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
There are 6 semi mature Beech trees growing between the buildings know as Lower Farm Buildings and the main farm drive. The trees in question are around 20m tall and their branches are now touching, or close to touching the rooves of the buildings. There is also an electric cable running below the crowns on the building side of the main stems. It is proposed to prune / crown lift the trees to give a 2.5m clearance from the buildings and cable. Care will be taken to ensure that balance will be retained.

Preston House, Coach House Flat Farleigh Road Preston Candover Hampshire RG25 2DS
The tree is a semi mature beech approximately 13 metres from a house and 15 metres from a public road. The tree has recently shed a limb which hit the house causing a small amount of damage to the roof. It is approximately 30m tall, is leaning slightly towards the house and is ivy covered. There is no suggestion that the root plate is lifting rather that it has grown away from other trees towards light hence the slight lean. It is proposed to remove the tree to ground level reducing the risk to property. There are many trees in this area of what makes up part of the formal garden for Preston House and the removal of this tree will not negatively impact the conservation area.
