Planning application
Waynflete Blue Ball Hill Winchester Hampshire SO23 0AF
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
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.

The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
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.
