Planning application
Woodbine House Home Lane Sparsholt Winchester Hampshire SO21 2NN
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Proposed Works: Reduction of T1 - Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) by 2-3 metres in both canopy height and lateral spread. Reason for Works: Decay is present within the lower stem, and Polyporus squamosus (Dryad?s Saddle) is evident on the tree, indicating internal dysfunction and a reduction in structural stability. The works are proposed to manage the associated risk while retaining the tree.
