3 The Drill Hall Hyde Close Winchester Hampshire SO23 7DH

Granted Winchester 25/01870/TPC Tree In A Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Proposal

T1, T2, T3 & T4 - BIRCH - Reduce crown of all 4 trees by up to 2m as appropriate to maintain the trees at a manageable size. So as to reduce over hang & ensure the trees do not get too large for their location. Minimal pruning now will ensure that major pruning is not required in the future, if left unpruned.
