Planning application
21/00683/TPC
The Old Court House Main Road Hursley SO21 2JY
Proposal
2 yew trees (YT1 & YT2) to be cut down by tree surgeon. YT1 in my own garden, YT2 in adjacent garden (84 Main Road, Hursley, SO212JY). Both trees are now very large, and root system poses a risk to foundations of adjacent houses and garages. Also, the trees drop yew berries, which are poisonous if consumed by children and dogs. We feel that these trees are therefore hazardous, and should be removed by a qualified tree surgeon. Access to cut down both trees is possible via the Old Court House. Smaller more manageable trees will be planted in their place.

About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

Currawong George Eyston Drive Winchester Hampshire SO22 4PE
T1-T5 Beech - All 5 trees have extensive squirrel damage in upper limbs and branches. These are now posing a safety hazard to the owners & neighbours. Suggestion is to shorten damaged limbs and branches as appropriate to their lengths and amount of damage to reduce the risk of failure. Estimated reduction is maximum 3m but less if safe to do so & leaving decent growth points. 1 limb recently broke & fell into owners garden & the climbing inspection was undertaken & the damage was highlighted.
