Planning application
Northbrook Hall Duke Street Micheldever Winchester Hampshire SO21 3DF
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
We have recently been granted Planning Permission to install solar panels on the south facing roof of Northbrook Hall, which stands in the conservation area of Micheldever. In order to gain the full benefits of the system we wish to prune back the crab apple tree which sits to the south of the building. I attach a photo of the tree in front of the building. The tree was one of a pair of trees that were planted, presumably for decorative purposes, on the strip of land between the Hall and Duke Street. The second tree, a cherry ( to the left of the crab apple in the picture) suffered a substantial break a few years ago and has so far failed to regenerate. I understand that it is now unlikely to do so. Pillar Apple - Reduce crown of Apple to previous reduction points. (Amended) It should be noted that this part of Duke Street has a large number of very tall mature hard wood trees which of course would not be affected at all. We would suggest that the environmental benefits of a more efficient solar panel installation would outweigh the very minor change to the tree population of the immediate area.
