Planning application

Wharf Farm Dairy Wharf Hill Winchester Hampshire SO23 9NQ

Granted Winchester 25/02350/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

Intended Works: Removal of 3x Sycamore Trees (Acer Psuedoplatanus) from garden of Wharf Farm Dairy (pictures attached). The three sycamore trees are between 8 & 10 metres from the outer wall of the house and lie between 1 & 2 metres of the foundations of the Grade 2 Listed Blackbridge over the River Itchen. The Sycamores are an estimated 12 meters in height and lower branches reach to within 2m of the building. Reasons for removal: Allow light into the garden. Growth under the heavy sycamore canopy is restricted & grass will not grow. Prevent future root damage to both house and bridge Reduce leaf & seed fall which is causing guttering blockages and damage to the property. Mitigating Planting: A Weeping Willow (Salix Babylonica) will be planted adjacent to the site of the furthest sycamore to maintain the aesthetic aspect of the property when viewed from Blackbridge & College Walk.

    G1 - A group of 3x self-sown Sycamores growing close to Black Bridge on the River Itchen. The tree roots are now undermining the rivers support piles and forcing them apart. These support piles would have been put in place before the flats were built. The future growth of these trees could also affect for foundations of bridge. The trees are in poor condition and are self-sown, there is evidence of some branch removal in the past. I would recommend felling and removing these trees to alleviate further damage before remedial work on the banking can take place.
