The Thatched House Church Lane Sparsholt Winchester Hampshire SO21 2NJ
T1 - one of three yew trees to the front of our property. This bifurcated tree causes excessive shading of rooms in the house, dramatically reduces the amenity value of our front garden and increases the time the thatched roof is damp reducing its effective life. T2 - an excessively large Western Red Cedar. This tree is showing stress towards the top and because of the prevailing wind we are concerned that should it be brought down in high winds it would destroy the oil storage tank with significant environmental consequences for ourselves and the neighbouring property.
