Planning application

18 Holly Hill Southampton SO16 7ER

Awaiting decision Southampton 26/00229/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

I would like to reduce the Oak tree height to 12m above ground level to prevent overturning and also remove the branches that overhang our garden to provide sufficient clearance.

As published by the council, reference 26/00229/TPO
