Planning application
Canterbury Cottage 17 Freefolk Priors Freefolk Hampshire RG28 7NJ
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Removal of silver birch c.15m tall which is within 10m of the house and 1m of a greenhouse. The tree was in place when we bought the house in 2003 and has more than doubled in height in that time. Removal of a apple tree also in place when we arrived. It is extremely old and no longer productive with a spread diameter of 4.8m and the base is within 5m of the house. Replace with one smaller tree more in keeping with the location.

The ash tree is situated in a woodland that belongs to The Piscatorial Society. The tree is adjancet to and overhanding the London Road. Exact grid reference: SU 48243 48545
A semi-mature ash tree (within the Freefolk Conservation ARea) is situated alongside the London Road (NGR SU 48243 48545). The ash been flagged as a hazard by Highways. The tree isn't the responsibility of highways and belongs to The Piscatorial Society. The Society would like the tree to be removed as per highways recomendations. Previously a large codiminant limb has torn out onto the road and the ash tree is showing ealry signs of dieback. A large over extended lateral (also codominant) is also of particualr concern as it is over the road and regularly being clipped by HGVs and buses. With perimission we would like to dismantle the tree to ground level. The works will require a lane closure and temporary traffic ligths in order to facilitate the use of MEWP and chipper. We are in the process of obtating license for lane closure.
