Waynflete Blue Ball Hill Winchester Hampshire SO23 0AF

Granted Winchester 22/00237/TPC Tree In A Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Relates to 21/02528/TPC

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.
