Planning application

7 Leydene Park East Meon Petersfield Hampshire GU32 1HF

Awaiting decision South Downs National Park SDNP/26/03877/TPO Trees

Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

3 x common beech trees (Beech 1, 2 and 3) shown on site map to have overall crown reduction of 3 metres on height and spread with selective 4 meter reduction on over extending laterals (Beech 1 and 3) which have become pronounced following the felling of a neighbouring large Beech. Beech 3 is have a tight fork with an included union. The weight reduction work will delay the need for cobra bracing. This tree is close to the house and the fork would fall on it. Works will also alleviate lack of light.

    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.
