Planning application

1 Melrose Court Christchurch Road Winchester Hampshire SO23 9TE

Granted Winchester 25/02116/TPC Tree In A Conservation Area

Works: Trees

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Plans to fell one 8-10m Western Red Cedar in close proximity to our house. The tree is not subject to a TPO but our property sits within the local conservation area. This tree will be felled to the ground with the stump remaining. This tree is shown as "T1" in the sketch provided and highlighted in yellow. Our house is directly to it's north and is outlined in blue. Further to our previous application for minor works to sycamore trees to provide clearance from another neighbour's building (Ref. No: 25/00368/TPC, approved April 2025) we request approval to raise clearance to 5.5m over the highway. The position of this tree is shown in the second attachment as the western border or "G1" where it meets Christchurch Road.

As published by the council, reference 25/02116/TPC
