Planning application
The Old Rectory High Street Buriton Petersfield Hampshire GU31 5RX
Works: Trees
Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.
Proposal
Reduce the Horse Chestnut by up to 2m to suitable growth points on the East side. Raise any remaining branches to 6m from ground level. This work is to reduce the amount of silt build up in the pond that this tree heavily overhangs. This should improve the water quaility for the pond and wildlife. This will also help to rebalance the tree and reduce the substantial wieght on this side of the tree which reduces the likelihood of failure. the trees current dimentions are 12m wide and 18m tall. The new dimentions will be 10m wide and 18m tall.

SDNP/26/03967/TPO Awaiting decision
St Christophers High Street Twyford Hampshire SO21 1NH
T1- Walnut: Permission to carry out a full canopy reduction, reducing the height of the tree by between 2-3m, and the lateral aspects by 1-2m. The tree is getting very large for it's surroundings as well as causing interference with the road, and structure beneath. The Owner wishes to contain the tree to a size appropriate for he garden. T2- Lime: Full canopy reduction by between 50-60%. The tree is incredibly close to the house and blocks a huge amount of light. It has also lost two limbs over the summer months, which have narrowly missed vehicles using the turning space at the end of the road, as well as a high number of pedestrians. This work would allow the tree to be retained at a more appropriate size, and greatly minimising the risk of any further limb failures for an area with such high footfall. T3- Indian Bean Tree: Full canopy reduction by between 2 and 3m. The tree is far too large for it's location, impeeding both the houses and also the pavement. This reduction would allow the the tree to be retained whilst avoiding impact on surrounding structures and footpaths.
