Treetops Petersfield Road Winchester Hampshire SO23 0JD

Granted Winchester 25/02344/TPO Tree Preservation Order

Works: Trees

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

Proposal

The tree is a mature beech that sits toward the front of my plot and overhangs my neighbours garage. On 30/10/25 I gave WCC notice that deadwood needed to be removed. Mulberry Tree Services completed the work. The climber commented that two limbs were rubbing and one was worn through by about a third. He indicated that if left, either limb could eventually break off. He suggested that the upper part of the lower limb were removed to prevent this. On the photo provided. The yellow arrow shows the point where the limbs are rubbing and the red arrive the proposed point of removal.

    1 and 2 are Ash Trees. Removal. They have Ash Dieback, front the Highway and are hence an ongoing risk. ABCDEFGH are self seeded sycamores. Removal due to excessive shading and poor amenity value. 3. Holly Tree. Poor amenity and excessive shading. Pollard at 4 metres. 4.5 and 6. 4 and 5 are Beech, 6 is a Horse Chestnut. Crown lift to 5 metres due to excessive shading. Due to the relatively small plot, the retention of X2 Beech, one horse Chestnut and Holly Tree and the abundance of trees in the immediate vicinity, there are no plans to replace.
