Planning application
18 Holly Hill Southampton SO16 7ER
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.
