    Waynflete Blue Ball Hill Winchester Hampshire SO23 0AF

    We have permission to lop a very unhealthy sycamore tree which is adjacent to the Alresford Road and a public footpath Case number: 21/02528/TPC. However, our tree surveyor has advised us to take the tree down completely because, Any reduction in height with the aim to reduce the forces and loading at the points noted would also affect the trees physiology and ability to compete with any decay fungi present and as such most likely create a spiral of decline which will end up in the trees removal.
