Planning application

Meadow Cottage Compton Street Compton SO21 2AS

Granted Winchester 21/00421/TPC Tree In A Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

T1 Poplar - Remove tree - It has out grown its position within the garden and is at a size and age that it is likely to start loosing branches due to being heavily weighted & over extended. "Topping" the tree is not good Arboricultural practice so is out of the question. Poplar does not reduce well due to producing a proliferation of new shoots on the cut branches, leaving an unsightly tree that will develop decay & become unsafe
