2 Lanham Down Cottages Lanham Lane Winchester Hampshire SO22 5JS
There are a number of multi stem Beech trees around nine which are located in the rear gardens of no 1,2 and 3 Lanham Down cottages. The canopy overhangs into the garden of our neighbours in Pine Cottages and smothers their building with leaves and branches which are touching her roof. The roof is covered in an algae. The overhanging branches and leaves block out natural light from reaching the rear gardens and properties in Lanham Down Cottages. The middle terrace no 2's most rear room the lounge is completely dark on a sunny day which means excessive use of artificial light. The works would involve raising the canopy up approximately 6 meters along the rear of the 3 terraced properties. Hopefully this is deemed as the most sensible approach and creating the minimal amount of harm to the trees. Our neighbours in Pine Trees have stated that they will not object to the planning. The tree surgeon that would be carrying out the works is Colin Luff. (Amended)
