45 St Cross Road Winchester Hampshire SO23 9PS
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
We are in the process of clearing-out and replanting our front property hedge bordering on St Cross Rd. On clearing dying hedging for replacement we have discovered that a self-set blossom tree, as well having roots which lifted the paving slabs (now remedied by Highways), is growing at a very precarious angle over the pavement and ultimately the road. The top of the existing trunk is only approx. 1.5 over the pavement. Would there be any problem if I remove this tree as indicated in the attached picture? Note that there another similar blossom tree within ~1.5m which does not have this issue and would be retained Picture 2). We also have a Junglans we have planted behind (visible in the first picture) which would then gain light and space for future growth.

Yew Tree House 6 Chestnut Mead Winchester Hampshire SO23 9BW
I would like fell the silver birch as identified on my sketch primarily to the detrimental health effects. Secondary to this, behind the silver birch there is an old Yew Tree which I would protect and I believe the Yew would improve considerably by vastly greater sunlight and rainfall if the silver birch is removed. Thirdly, the silver birch is under 10m from the house and has grown considerably over the years we have owned the house and I am nervous of its proximity to the house given it?s size. Please note. I have considered a replacement tree however excluding the Silverbirch there are already 7 medium to large trees and 4 ornamental trees ( and numerous fir trees ) in the back garden alone ( and more trees to the front ) so there does not appear to be a sensible and reasonable area to plant.
